What is the news?

October 29 the library’s “Window on America” weekly talk-club meeting was attended by 21 users. Club members were speaking about fake news. The points they discussed were: do you believe all the news that you read on the Internet, watch on TV; do you know how to distinguish truthful information and fake; do you think that fake is a mechanism of information manipulation; what headlines attract your attention; what sources do you trust; do you believe information that cannot be verified; are there any journalists or bloggers you trust completely; what words do you associate with the word "informing"; what words do you associate with the word "propaganda" et cetera.
