MEDIA AND INFORMATION SOURCES (SELECTION CRITERIA)

December 8, 2017

Reliability - I think it is considered reliable about the information of "fake news". the statement of Grace Poe about fake news can be verified to other sources, though the news source is trusted, still there could be some clips being cut in the scene.

Accuracy - The fact that there is a group of people who created 'fakebook' which is an application for desktops to check the reliability and accuracy of the information given out. The article was not written objectively and been taken care since the ABS-CBN writer who made it used facts.

Value - This is valuable for Filipino audience since all should be aware about fake news spreading throughout the country.

Authority - ABS-CBN wrote the article, who is expert on it. His source was really those involved in to getting the information. They are properly cited since their names and background are being screened on public television. For me, he is not known for biases.

Timeliness - It was written these days. It is timeliness because there are a lot of fake news today in our country which can be either from the government or other people. So, it should be checked before sharing.
