Fake news?

Fake news has been a problem that is getting bigger by the diverse social media sites. With the type of society we have "Media is no longer passively consumed" (Linehan). Media sites are able to use algorithms that are designed to be customize the news to the user's liking. This type of strategy is known as bias or slanted news. Biased news separates the user from other point of views from different people using the same site. Clickbait is another strategy used by media sites to promote fake news. Clickbate stories often contain headlines and certain pictures that convince the user to go to the publisher's website at the cost of how genuine the news is. https://www.webwise.ie/teachers/what-is-fake-news/
