What Can Be Done About Fake News?

Newsday

Available for over a year

The ѿý is launching a huge initiative called ‘Beyond Fake News’. With the aim to find ways to address this increasingly pressing issue, the ѿý is holding events, media literacy programmes and bringing you stories from across the world, through our own network of journalists looking at the spread of fake news. In Cameroon, people are still picking up the pieces after the mass-kidnapping of almost 78 children from Nkwen Presbyterian School in the city of Bamenda. While they've since been returned, four adult staff are still missing. California firefighters face a possible further spread of several huge fires and more damage as winds strengthen. A lull on Saturday allowed some containment of the blazes, in the north and south of the state, but officials warned residents to stay away as they could again spread very rapidly.
