Fake News

I. Introduction

A. Fake News should be researched to make sure it is legitimate because false

information is damaging academically and is substandard to our society.

II. Body Paragraph: Fake News and Social Media

A. For most people it is difficult to identify Fake News because they spend less time-

consuming news and are less interested in current events and lesser education.

III. Confusion about Fake News

A. Young people need to be educated to distinguish credible news information. Young

people don't have the ability to explain the information they consume. Separation of our personal

beliefs and bogus news we read may be good for our society.

IV. Fake News in the 2016

A. "Social Media such as Facebook have a different anatomy than regular news sources

because there is no third part filtering, fact-checking, or editorial judgment." Facebook is more of

a gossip news source that is misleading as to following the 2016 election, a specific concern of

false stories circulated on Social Media.
