- Fake News: A Skeptic's Point-of-Viewby Rex Gilbert Odiaman
- Marie: yess gurl! Imma' post a status update. #BTSfinally
- Marie: sure Rex. I'll send the link later.
- Marie: hey guys! Have you all seen the news online? DepEd announced the reopening of schools nationwide.
- I don't think this true. I wonder where Marie got the information from. *messages Marie* hey Marie, can you send me the link of the news article that you got this from?
- Thess: Oh my gosh! really! I can't believe that we're finally gonna' see each other personally!
- Food, dishes, and cleaning, done! Let me see what my friends are talking about.
- Marie: Here is the link to the article I read. https://www.thephilippinechronicle.com/back-to-school-2021
- Oh my! What an evocative headline. There sure aren't any sources listed nor noted and the writing is very poor. Plus, I cannot seem to find any other articles holding the same information. This must be fake news. I better tell them about this before they post or spread it to others.
- Marie: Okay, I won't.
- Okay Marie, thanks! I'm going to check the article out first. In the mean time, don't post anything until I check its legitimacy. I will come back to you later.
- Okay, let's see what this news is all about.
- *clicks link*
- Marie: Thanks, I will.
- You better tell them that the information you shared was false before they relay it to more people.
- Marie: Wow! I can't believe that I shared false information to some of my friends.
- Marie: Really! How could you say so?
- *calls Marie*
- Well, I simply did a background check on the both the article and the website. After some time of browsing for related news and information, I wasn't able to find any matches from trusted news sites such as GMA and ABS-CBN.
- Hey, Marie. I have already read the news article and checked the background of the website. I think that the news you read was fake.
- The next day...
- Hey Rex! How are you doing?
- Thank you for your help the other day.
- That's a lesson learned for sure.
- I'm fine, Marie. Thank you for asking!
- A little skepticism goes a long way with what we should or should not believe in and share to others.
- You're welcome. Just be careful about what you see online next time. They are not always true, you know.
