Determine the truthfulness and accuracy of the material viewed EN7VC-I-h-10

What Is It?

What is Truth?

Truth is the quality of being honest and not containing or telling any lie.

What is Accuracy?

Accuracy is the fact of being exact or correct.

How do you know that the information that you get from various resources are true and accurate?

Most of the time we simply accept information relayed to us without actually evaluating the authenticity
of the information. Understanding the truth can be viewed in many ways depending on the truth teller’s
purpose. To carefully evaluate the truthfulness and accuracy of the material, you must be able to
question the materials you find in various media platforms. You must be empowered with questions that
will help you to seek clarity, question assumptions, and detect source reliability or bias

7 Types of Information Disorder According to Wardle, (2017) there are seven common forms of
information disorder.

1.Satire/ Parody- These types of viewable texts have no intention to cause harm but has potential to
fool. Content purporting to be satire will evade the fact-checkers, and frequently over time, the original
context gets lost: people share and re-share not realizing the content is satire and believing that it is
true.

2. Misleading Content- There are also texts that use misleading information to frame an issue or an
individual. Some common examples of this technique are selection of a partial segment from a quote,
creating statistics that support a particular claim but don’t take into account how the data set was
created, or cropping a photo to frame an event in a particular wa

3. Imposter Content- This is when genuine sources are impersonated. An example of this is when the
logo of a well-known brand or name is used alongside false content. The goal of this deception is to
increase the chance that people will trust the content without checking the content.

4. Fabricated Content- The new content is 100% false. These texts are designed to deceive and to harm.
New fake social media accounts are created to spread new and invented content from it.

5. False Connection- This is when headlines, visuals, or captions don’t support the content. This
technique makes claims about content via a sensational headline, only to find the headline is horribly
disconnected from the actual article or piece of content.
6. False Context- This is when genuine content is shared with false contextual information. It often
happens during a breaking news event when old imagery is re-shared, but it also happens when old
news articles are re-shared as new, when the headline still potentially fits with contemporary events.

7. Manipulated Content- This is when genuine information or imagery is manipulated to deceive. The
genuine content is tampered with or doctored in some way.
