This is an example of fake news
Have you heard this term before? Let’s define it. . . *You should remember talking about it briefly in the beginning of the school year
when we discussed evaluating sources. BUT, being able to spot and avoid fake news is a valuable skill- especially for times such as this!

Fake news is....
- Disinformation for profit - hoax sites who engineer fake news stories to reap
digital advertising revenue
- Disinformation for political gain - state-funded fraudulent websites set up by
- ne country to sow confusion in another
- Hacking - Hackers gain access to the websites or social media accounts of
reputable news outlets and disseminate fake stories.
- Viral pranks - hoaxes spread for fun
- Uncritically reporting a hoax as fact: a well-crafted hoax spreads widely
enough that a credible news outlet reports on it as fact or as a rumor
SLIDE 7
Fake news is NOT....
- Satire Websites: Websites like The Onion write news parodies. Readers who
don’t know it’s satire may mistake it for fact.
- Satirical stories from regular news sites: Opinion and feature writers in
mainstream media will sometimes use satire or fanciful hypothetical examples to make a point.
- Honest reporting mistakes: Even the best reporters sometimes get things
wrong, report things as fact before they’re confirmed or get spun by sources who aren’t telling the whole truth. But if there’s no intention to fool anyone, it’s not fake news.
- Journalism you don’t like: Just because you don’t like what the author says,
that doesn’t make it fake news.
