(NARRATION)

Nowadays, as much as technology emerges fast with the help of internet

different information are easily connected and found and as a result people are fond of
using different forms of technology and media to update on whats happening in the
world. But right now, a problem arises with regards to this type of information which are
exposed through social media sites. (DESCRIPTION)

Recently, false news has been a hot topic spreading like a virus and truly affects the
people creating panics and disorientation to those who heard, read or even see it.
Primarily, it causes overthinking and being paranoid to the society, where the people are
struggling and questioning on what is the reality and truth about this news.(CAUSE
AND EFFECT)

What is false or fake news?? Fake news refers to untrue, lack of facts,
questionable content type of news, written or broadcast. It can be concluded as make
up story created by authors hiding their identity through the use of social networking
sites wherein search engines and website has been the home and wall of these news.

account access examples are Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Viber etc. Name reputation of
some websites in social media as of now cant be a great soured of secured, truth
news that everyone should be heard and know.(EXEMPLICATION)

Basically, there is no such thing as false news. Fake news can be just distorted
truth, misinformation, or even an exaggerated thought about a particular issues or thing.
The characteristics of fake news are like the characteristics of mouth talks or chismis on
other term.(CONTRAST AND COMPARISON)

Its the truth, the added truth or sometimes lacking truth, the only difference between
mouth talks and false news is the way on how it is presented to the people, mouth talks
can happen on open conversation, pass by one person to another without the possibility
or small chance of originality from what has been said. While on the other hand fake
news or false news are presented through writings or broadcast with the help of social
media.(DIVISION AND CLASSIFICATION)

The problem is that people trust media the most at all expense. Wherein the only
truths for people are those information being shared from these sites or network. Thats
why in sense of sympathy and helpfulness and a show of concern citizen people tend to
share these kinds of news which truth are questionable. But they dont perceive it as
unbelievable but rather shocking and surprising.

In order to avoid being a victim of fake news, carefulness and responsiveness as

a netizens should always takes place. Because once we share it to public we also
causes other people to be a victim of these undying fake news.(PROBLEM AND
SOLUTION)

The only thing that we can do to prevent and to stop these type of news is just to
coordinate ourselves with the common truth that most people will believe. Although
news presents different sides of the story lets think logically on what could be the most
believable to happen. People should always be aware where the news came from or if
its sources, creators and authors are credible to write or even broadcast the news. our
hearings, our sight and even our mind should not only stick on what we see on the
outside but most important thing here is to analyze whether what we heard, seen and
read are set of truths or it is just another fallacy that we should ignore.(PROCESS
ANALYSIS)

Lets not just rely and depend on limited number of information made in the news. Be
smart enough to observe for the truth.(PERSUATION)
