Identifying Fake News Online

[elena_castillo]

Honestly, even the so-called "reliable" sources make mistakes. I saw a news site once retract a major story after getting half the facts wrong. You just can’t trust anyone these days.

True, Hannah, but I think it’s all about balance. We can’t just give up on news entirely! Being critical is essential, but there are still good journalists out there doing great work.

Even with all these strategies, we have to admit that fake news is here to stay. It’s just too easy to spread misinformation, especially with social media amplifying it. It’s pretty overwhelming at times.
