Question

Listen to a journalist talking about fake news. Then write down.

Answer

  1. The term 'fake news' is used for different kinds of false, misleading stories.
  2. Fake news is nothing new. What is new is how easy it has become to share information. Anyone can publish anything they want online and these stories spread very quickly, even though they haven't always been properly checked and may contain false information.
