Answer:

Fact checking= It is a modern, identifiable category of journalism. Its goal is to provide accurate, unbiased analysis of statements made in public in order to correct public misperceptions and increase knowledge of important issues.

Explanation:

Fact check is important because

  • Modern fact-checking analyzes claims and rates them as true or false
  • Research suggests that fact-checking does indeed correct perceptions among citizens, as well as discourage politicians from spreading false or misleading claims
  • Fact checkers may clarify their assessment of a claim by providing context and background information.
  • Fact-checking can also influence politicians’ behavior. Politicians’ reactions to having one of their claims rated as false can range from ignoring the fact check to attacking the fact checker.
  • Some use fact checks to attack their opponents or adjust their public statements so as not to become the subject of a fact check.[12]
