Young people are quite vulnerable to misinformation

consumers can conduct an automatic reverse image search to check that a photo is genuine.
Young people are quite vulnerable to misinformation (Scheufele & Krause, 2019). One of the
greatest problems is that young users are inexperienced. As a result, they are less likely to tell
the difference between genuine and misleading content. It is also applied to paid content.
When it comes to limiting the impact of fake news on young users, I think they should be
taught how to evaluate content for trustworthiness. For example, users should look for a
source of an article that appears in the social media post.

The chosen news story is a Russian interference to aid Bernie Sanders. The two selected
newspapers are The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times . The article in The New
York Times by Barnes and Ember (2020) firmly states that Sanders denounced any helping

efforts from Russia. The article in The Wall Street Journal by Volz (2020) focuses on the fact
that U.S. officials warned Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help Sanders. The reporting
of these papers is different because they target slightly different audiences (“Newspapers Fact
Sheet,” 2019).
