The Global Issue of Fake News


Fake news is known to be an epidemic across this country, but the reality is, it’s a huge issue globally. From all age groups people are known to believe what they see without looking at the facts or the whole story. An example of this is when a video spread across India of a woman getting molested by a man. This hit hard for a lot of teenagers where it was widely spread and even discussed in school where a lot of debates emerged about this said incident. Later, the full video was released to show that the man was simply saving the woman from a riot. “The students had trouble dealing with the fact they had believed fake news.” Asia Times reports. No one wants to fall victim of the popular fake news trend, but sadly it is very common for that to happen especially when it comes to young, impressionable kids. I feel it is our duty to set a new standard of News and stop the pattern. We must all come together to share the truth and teach younger generations to do so as well.
