There is a mixture of information on the Internet
Muddy and sandy
How in a short period of time
Identify if a piece of information is fake news?
First of all, we need to know the types of fake news
Only by recognizing the fake can we distinguish the fake
Types of fake news
01 Fake photos and videos
By modifying the title or content text of an image or video, the meaning of the original image or video can be distorted, or by editing different videos or photos, changing the plot, or even with the blessing of AI technology, the content of the picture that the counterfeiter wants to express.
02 The data is false
Detailed graphs and figures are given to give the reader a sense of conclusive evidence, but the data is often unsupported by scientific evidence.
03 Falsification of citations
Fabricate comments from industry experts or senior executives as arguments to make the news more convincing.
04 Emotional incitement
Use the public's panic, anger, anxiety and other emotions to create stories that meet the psychological expectations of the public.
05真假参半
This type of fake news is more difficult to identify, because some of the content in the news is true, but in the report, the key words are specious, deliberately leading readers to a one-sided interpretation of the news.
How to identify fake news?
Fake news can be very deceptive at times
Here are three tips
It helps to help everyone distinguish the authenticity
1. Look at the source of the message and judge whether the source of the information is authoritative
For example, official releases, reports from authoritative academic journals, and research institutions generally have a high degree of credibility. In addition, for information such as news reports, it is necessary to pay attention to the channels through which they are disseminated, such as whether they come from authoritative media outlets, credible news organizations, etc.
2. See whether the content of the message conforms to common sense and basic logic
The news obviously lacks the analysis of the cause of the event, or the logic is contradictory, or it does not conform to basic common sense, and it also lacks the presentation of evidence, and such news is likely to be fake news. Don't think it's true just because the headline or content of the news looks more "exciting"!
3. Selective reporting may induce readers to draw wrong conclusions
"Selective reporting" refers to the selection of a subset of news events or processes, rather than the entire course of the event. As a result, readers only know the local part and do not understand the overall situation, lack the overall grasp of news events, and cannot obtain comprehensive, truthful and effective information.
