Social networks have improved communication between people, and have become a means to deliver news quickly. However, they also encourage the creation and increase of so-called fake news.
For this reason, all information published on networks or on the web should be verified before being transmitted.
Most fake news is, by nature, negative information with the ability to sow fear in society or create a scandal.
According to a study carried out in 2017 by Tren Chile Mobile Number List Digital of the UC, it highlighted that every four Internet users share or read fake news, while 38.5% recognized that their family or close friends rarely make this news viral, which, they mostly come from Facebook.
Since last year, Facebook decided that it would combat Fake News , but until recently it decided to hire a group of journalists to help cure fake news, and thus repair its relationship with media editors.
The social network will employ journalists to select breaking news and stories to be featured in a new feature called News Tab , rather than using algorithms to determine what is shared with its vast network of users.
Following the example…
This is a decision that is part of a movement in the technology industry, where Apple, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Snapchat also hired journalists to help their companies analyze news and the media.
In 2015, Apple hired former New York magazine CEO Lauren Kern as the app's editor-in-chief.
On that same date, Twitter began a form of news curation. This social network recently announced that it will no longer accept advertising from state-controlled media, largely in response to the disinformation campaign that China carried out to combat Hong Kong protesters.
Facebook, which faces similar scrutiny for the same Chinese disinformation campaign, said employing journalists can help surface more quality news.
According to Campbell Brown, Facebook's head of news partnerships, said in a statement to Forbes , the goal with the News Tab is to provide a personalized and highly relevant experience for people.
Most of the stories that people will see will appear in the tab through algorithmic selection. For the tab's top news section, we're assembling a small team of journalists who can ensure we're highlighting the right stories.
