Reputable Online Resources – Jarrah Brillantes

Unlike in mainstream media, the content and information available online are not subjected to any regulation. There’s a free-for-all in terms of putting out content on the world wide web. The danger of fictitious news spreading online creates a vacuum in the application of democracy in our everyday lives. Once fake news is shared widely—no thanks to the consumer’s inability to identify reliable online sources—it can cause panic, fear, and confusion among the general public.

This is why it is important to learn the different methods of properly assessing the reliability and veracity of online sources. The responsibility falls on the internet user to correctly evaluate the truthfulness of online resources so as not to contribute to the proliferation of fake news in the so-called alternative media.
