Hi, I'm Ayshah. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:13 | |
Welcome to Newsround. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
Do you think you should
have lessons in school | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
about how to spot fake news? | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
Well, one expert says you should -
and one group of kids had a go | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
a go in a special class. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Hayley's got this. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Fake news. Fake news. Fake news.
It's been one of the most talked | 0:00:32 | 0:00:40 | |
about problems of the year. Fake
news. But what is it, and what does | 0:00:40 | 0:00:47 | |
it mean to you? Fake news is when
somebody spreads rumours that are | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
not true. It is more like a scam, I
think. I think fake newsies rumours | 0:00:50 | 0:00:57 | |
spread around like people to get
attention. Sometimes it is so | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
persuasive that you think that it is
real. If it is serious news you can | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
get worried and thinking about stuff
too much. It makes you feel annoyed | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
and angry. It's really hard to know
when things are true or not. When I | 0:01:12 | 0:01:19 | |
hear something and I believe it I
feel like I have been tricked or | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
something. Fake news normally comes
down to two things. Firstly the news | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
stories that are not true at all.
They go online and are shared on | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
social media even though the person
writing them knows they are made up. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
Number two, stories that may have
some truth to them but the facts are | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
not clear or checked properly, or
the writer has exaggerated some of | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
it to mean what they want it to.
Would you be able to spot it? These | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
kids are taking part in a project
looking at how much kids like you | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
know about fake news on how they
deal with it. It is part of a | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
project that has been running all
year. The expert in charge of it | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
thinks that from the age of ten kids
should be taught more about how to | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
spot fake news. Children know that
fake news exists, but do they | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
actually recognise it when they see
it online, on TV and in the | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
newspapers. That is where lessons
would really help because children | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
can stop thinking and feeling they
can actually believe the news is | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
true and might start switching off
altogether and actually not showing | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
an interest in the world around
them. So what does this class think | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
of what they learn? I think it
should be taught in school because | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
then they can be more aware of what
is surrounding them and they will | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
know if it is fake or not and what
to believe. It's taught me about | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
fake news and it could be serious.
If you were not taught about it you | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
would not know what is true. Now I
know how to spot fake news by who | 0:02:45 | 0:02:52 | |
posted it, and the likes, and where
it comes from and if I don't know I | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
will ask my friends and families.
The best advice I would say is to | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
look out for proper brands. It helps
students to help other people learn | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
about what fake news is about and
maybe even teach your mum and dad | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
and stuff. If it is fake, you will
not know what is happening in the | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
world. Thanks for that. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |

So England's cricket team are now
two down in the famous Ashes | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |

Russia has been banned
from competing at next year's | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Winter Olympics in South Korea. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
It's after an investigation
into Russian cheating at the Sochi | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
games four years ago. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
The International Olympic Committee
says Russian athletes who can prove | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
they aren't taking drugs
to improve their performance will be | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
allowed to compete,
but as an individual | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
