Future of News

The future of “Fake News” is something that is going to be interesting with these "Fake" articles on the rise. Fake News will take a huge turn in the coming years with the apparent rise of these fake articles but I feel that it will never really disappear in fact it will still be there, just classified. The only thing that will change is sources of a news article will change. They might start having more paired news articles where more than one person should write on a given topic so that a reader may have a better understanding of the event.

There is an interesting video from MSN about the future of fake news and what to do about it. The man behind some of this work Andrew Kiyashko, Deputy Head of News spoke on a web site that’ll be programmed to find aspects of news articles to determine they are fake. They focused on the Russian hackers and whether they actually hacked the power grid. This has brought up a focus of the program to bring in more websites into play.

This seems to be a clever idea to debunk the growing problem, it won’t disappear altogether but it will limit the spread. It has started and will soon grow in the focus of finding these fake articles.
