Kiwi Kids News is a website created by Shem and Rachel Banbury to provide news for kids. The document discusses fake news, which are hoaxes or propaganda designed to look like real news stories. Fake news sites often use outrageous headlines to get clicks. The document also discusses how schools can help by teaching media literacy and research skills to help students identify fake news. It suggests Kiwi Kids News educates students through featured articles and lessons on evaluating sources and writing styles to stop the spread of fake news. The future may involve more education and relying on fewer, more trustworthy news sources.
