Question

Suggest four practical strategies that you could abide by to prevent yourself from spreading fake news about a life threatening disease such as covid 19

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Many people write about science, or information related to science, but not everyone who does has been trained how to properly evaluate evidence, interpret jargon or report on statistics in the way that some specialist science journalists have. Stay mindful that information from the original source (most likely a research study) could have been reinterpreted, modified and even ignored altogether depending on the point the person writing wants to get across.

If you can find a reference or link to the original research in the story you are reading then it’s probably a good sign that the person writing it actually understands or has questioned the original work. Depending on the nature of the claim, you should check whether it’s also being reported in other media outlets. Chances are that if it really is a “breakthrough” discovery then many other outlets will be reporting the same thing. If it’s a lone WhatsApp message with a certain claim with no evidence, then you should think twice.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. Just stick to what you belive regardless of the media.

2. Go off of the actual facts that you know.

3.Stay inside as best as you can so you are not tempted by the community around you.
