This title for school students explores journalistic and fact-checking standards including constitutional protections, and real-world case studies, helping readers identify the mechanics, perpetrators, motives, and psychology of fake news. A final chapter explores methods for assessing and avoiding the spread of fake news among the media. From the proliferation of websites containing partially and wholly fictitious news stories that are often shared millions of times through social media to the trend towards the attack on legitimate news media by certain powerful and influential people who sometimes label stories that cast them in a negative light as "fake news". This book looks at the threat to freedom of the press and faith in legitimate news media and honest and ethical journalism.
