C. Analysis
1. Now, what have you notice on the article that I showed you?
2. Why can you say that this article is a fake news?
The real print edition of today’s writing post is on the left, on the right is a false edition.
The Washington Post took immediate action by issuing a disclaimer warning that the
paper was not legitimate on their Twitter account, “Washington Post PR.”
This type of content is when there is a misleading use of information to frame issues
or individuals in certain ways by cropping photos, or choosing quotes
4. Satire or Parody- This has no intention to cause harm but has the potential to fool.
5. False Connection- This happens when headlines, visuals, and captions do not
support the content.
As participants, how believable is the post? When headlines, visuals or captions do
not support the content, this is an example of false connection.
6. False Content-When genuine content is shared with false context information, this
happens.
One of the reasons ‘fake news’ is unhelpful because genuine content is often seen as
re-circulated out of its original context. For example, an image from Vietnam, captured
in 2007, recirculated seven years later, was shared under the guise that it was a
photograph from Nepal in the aftermath of the earthquake in 2015.
Manipulated media is when an aspect of genuine content is altered. This relates most
often to photos or videos. Here is an example from the lead-up to the US presidential
election in 2016, when two genuine images were stitched together. The location is
Arizona, and the image of the people standing in line to vote came from the primary
vote in March 2016. The image of the ICE officer making the arrest is a stock image
that, at that time, was the first result on Google Images when searching for “ICE
arrest.” The second image was cropped and layered on top of the first and
disseminated widely ahead of the election.

misinformation that is
entirely made up and
