In the Media

            In the media with Brooke Gladstone “News Consumer Handbook Fake News Edition”, Brooke interview Melissa Zimdars, a professor of communication and media at Merrimack College has list hundred of problematic news sites that sorts out truthful from the troublesome.

In the interview she goes over these four fake news site or semi-fake sites can be target into four categories: Breitbart- likes to finger you as a target.  Clickbait and Satire - connected to the truth but they lack the context quote.  But Satire sites don’t like to be marked as “Fake”.  Four is Buzzfeed - which exist under the legitimate organizations.

They go over some of the sites that are “down right False”, some of the eleven useful part of the list identify signs are: Their website design can almost tell you by – ALL-CAPSphoto shopped visuals and just out strange domain names- for instead msnb.com, see it as msnbc.com.co and if you think its fake check the About Us tab and see if there is Wikipedia page. 


Almost all news stories will try to make you stay interested in the story until the end. They want you to pay attention to hat there story there tell you interesting.  Keep an eye to want you what to read and enjoy it.
