                               SPOTTING FAKE NEWS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

                     It’s a digital world and learning to  spot  fake  news is  like
                     learning to  look  both  ways  before  crossing  the  street.  It’s
                     an essential skill for  being  a good  digital  citizen.  A digital

                     citizen is someone who uses the Internet in a smart, safe and
                     positive way.

                     WHAT IS FAKE NEWS?

                     Fake  news is  a  catchy  term  for information  that’s  false.
                     There are two main types:

                       Misinformation:  This is  when someone  shares  false  information  without  knowing  it’s
                        wrong. For example, they might see a funny meme and share it, not knowing that the story
                        behind it was made up.
                       Disinformation: This is  much  more  fraudulent.  It refers to  deliberately  created  false

                        information meant to mislead, provoke fear, anger or influence beliefs.
                     Spotting fake news is a key part of digital citizenship. Verifying information before sharing helps
                     prevent misinformation, protect public trust and maintain a healthier online environment.

                     Being a responsible digital citizen means verifying sources, checking facts and thinking critically
                     before sharing content to prevent the spread of misinformation.

                                       As technology continues to advance, which ethical considerations would you prioritise
                                       to ensure these innovations benefit humanity?
