Viral News on Social Media Paul Lane

Over the past 20 years or so, social media websites and apps have proliferated. Even reputable news sources share their stories on social media so people can share and comment on them, but sometimes the stories that go viral aren't the ones from the best sources. This useful book shows readers how to pick out the telltale signs of a fake story, share some of the tricks sources use to pull in readers, and point out how to track down good sources to share instead.
