The two examples the harm fake news can . The first highlights the long - lasting consequences of false information . In 1998 , a British researcher published a small - scale study in a respected medical journal , and it the MMR vaccine autism .

Some people ? s confidence in the vaccine was , and vaccination rates . , subsequent studies with larger samples revealed different results , and the original study was eventually inaccurate . Even so , for years after , misleading details from the original study were still reported . Some parents these inaccurate reports refused to vaccinate their children for fear it might more harm than good . More than two decades have now passed since the original study was published , but its can still be observed worldwide .

On February 23 , 2018 , a major hypermarket in Taiwan sent an email to several media outlets , an upcoming the price of toilet paper . It was later found the retailer ? s true doing so was to advertise its own toilet paper promotion , by noon that day , the damage had already been done . Two mainstream media outlets reported on the price hike without fact - checking , and others soon . The reporting prompted panic buying among Taiwanese people , feared that if they didn ? t , they would out of the precious daily necessity . Even manufacturers were negatively , their factories had to work overtime to handle the sudden increase in .

such significant events in mind , we are reminded that we must fake news . we across new information , it is important to evaluate its validity we tricked into mistaking fake news for the truth . One feature of authentic news is the of the writer ? s name , enables readers view that writer ? s biography and verify his or her . Another characteristic of real news is the of multiple primary sources , a high level of authenticity . feature to look for is where the article has been published , can indicate its . If it has been published by a respected media platform , such as the BBC or CNN , it is likely reliable . , a clear sign of a factual report is writing that does not readers ? emotions or use provocative language . These features can help us avoid fake news so that we can see the world .

In the age of news , we must all watch out for fake news we it . Useful strategies are to think critically about what we are reading and to further research on news stories to check their content before accepting them as truth . With diligence , we can win the war fake news and help improve society .
