Answer 1

Answer: I have looked through my magazines and mail, I cannot provide a link or URL code to answer this question.

In my new magazine, I found a page of very odd photos that seemed like they were photo-shopped. I decided to depict those pictures and there were many lines that didn’t add up or actually connect to the original photo. This made me feel like it was a fake, a fraud, so I continued to read the passage and it was about famous celebrities (whom I will not name), this disgusted me.

Explanation:

I found this magazine this morning as it dropped on my doorstep, I flipped through the pages only to find photoshopped pictures of celebrities, it was not right at all and everything was fake news.

Answer 2

Checking the facts of an article or piece of news that you suspect may be fake is one way to identify instances of fake news.

What exactly is fake news?

• When information that is false, untrue, misrepresented, or otherwise misleading is distributed to readers in the guise of a genuine news article, this is an example of fake news.
• The dissemination of false information with the intent to mislead readers is known as "fake news."
• Defaming organizations or individuals and spreading false information about them is another one of its primary goals.

How can one recognise fake news?

• When checking the accuracy of any article, follow these steps to identify any instances of fake news.

1. Read beyond the headline- Read the rest of the article rather than just the headline if you want to find out what the piece is actually about. Headlines are notorious for being misleading.
2. Check the publication: It is reasonable to suspect that any news story that was published by a source that does not appear to be a legitimate news outlet is a hoax.
3. Check the Sources- If the article does not state the sources from which the information was gathered, you can safely assume that it is fake.
4. Check for other articles- Check to see if the same information has been published by other news outlets. If not, the article in question is likely to contain fabricated information.

• You can use the points that were discussed above to determine whether or not a news article is fake.
