According to the caricature, almost everyone, including minor children, has the freedom of posting so-called official news to an organization considering the internet users’ age scope has become much wider compared to years ago and that organization has not put any restriction on who can actually update current news. In my opinion, although there happen to be fake news wide spreading around the net, there are a few reliable organizations that we can put our trust on such as CNN site.
However, there is a problem of people often mistaken reader’s or an important figure’s view as a legitimate news, in which, could lead to people being biased with a certain issue without judging it from the very official news itself. Thus, creating misunderstand that could led to a bigger problem. Often, this happens in politics where the oppositions assume every movement made by the government as a mere conspiracy. Take an example of one of the local website, Malaysiakini.com.
In order to avoid this complication, first, we have to make comparisons between the news posted on a website with another post with the same news, possibly written by different author, on a different website as to assure it is legitimate. If we are still unsure of it, keep on searching for more sources, be it analogue or digital.
To look for the most valid confirmed info, certainly we have to turn to printed medias. As everything created by man, there's always the pros and cons. Internet gives us immense ease and power to deliver messages and communicates with other peole, but at the same time it carries the danger of the validation of the info it brings to us.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, anyone can post anything and no one will ever know the truth unless it comes from the horses mouth. So if and only if the horse comes to the front, there is a slight possible chance that we're being lied to.
