- Abstract:
The article discusses research which explored ways to prevent the spread of fake news, conducted by Gordon Pennycook at the University of Regina and his colleagues. Topics covered are the unlikelihood of people who were asked to judge the accuracy of headlines to share false news and increase in trustworthiness of shared news when Twitter users were asked to rate the accuracy of a news.
