The document discusses ways to spot fake news and provides an example. It defines the term "cross check" and asks the student to create a fake news story. The response provides advice on verifying news from multiple sources and considering the biases and interests of different media. It expresses that no single media is neutral and recommends exploring a variety of alternative and official sources, while still maintaining a skeptical view. YouTube channels, newspapers like El Espectador, and radio stations are mentioned as examples.

1. 1 Have you ever spread fake
news?
Yes, when star the pandemic, I
share an infographic about the
covid – 19.
In that infographic said that the
coronavirus not was a virus so
lethal as other virus and that its
percentage was only 3%.

Make up a fake new,
something that results
credible.
The most useful way to spot fake
news is the number 1 “check the
source”, because if the people
search in what space is
uploaded, we can find the type of
website in where is published the
information. Although, is
necesary doubt also the mass
media traditionals.
Another useful way to spot fake news is check
the context of the information, because the
time, place or data that are around are very
important.
As example in 2016, in Colombia there was
fake news about the “plebiscito” for the peace
between the colombian state and guerrilla of the
FARC-EP; in this moment circulated news
without context.
I understand the term
“cross check” as
verify the information
by way cross with
other sources of
information.
Attention!, the monkey's
smallpox was created in
a laboratory of China,
this country try created
other pandemic after the
covid´s pandemic.

2. “Some people prefer to be informed through TV News, some
others prefer to find their own sources of information (radio,
internet ect…) while some others simply prefer to stay apart from
media or news” Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and
examples to support your answers”
?

3. What do I use mass media for be informed?
We can start, thinking if the mass media have a neutral speech, if own reflective exercise is
answer about the question: Which do I mass media prefer? In first time, the language
not is a neutral form of communication, because they have interests and inclinations
politics and economics.
If we think in this last argument, then we think in the mass media as a form of
language massive that relates to social grupes, independently, of the nature of
these grupes. This idea also I must tell and related with my argument, also, when I
think and write have a inclination in the language. In this direction, I try search in all
mass media, because this, give me a general view about the notice and its readings.

4. After I search the sources of information, then read newspaper
than “El Espectador”, radio stations than “w radio” and others
alternative media a official and occidental mass media,
than “RT”, “Telesur”. I never forget that these last mass media,
also have políticas policy inclinations.
In last years I have the custom to search youtube’s channels in these in
adittion we can search sources of information that can supplement the
information found. Some interesting channels are “DW”, “BBC world” and
“Diana Uribe FM”
