The article focuses on the fact that a panel discussion was held on the 25th of January to discuss the rise of fake news and what can be done in order to prevent fake news from getting out of hand. The panel will be attended by Rory Cellan-Jones who has presented a number of Radio 4 documentaries on technology such as The Force of Google, an investigation into the power of its search algorithm. It will also be attended by Amelia Tait who is the technology and digital culture writer at the New Statesman and focuses a lot on how social media has revolutionised the world.
- Panel discussion at the Frontline Club: Tackling Fake News
- Journalists working for traditional media outlets now view it as part of their task to debunk the erroneous reports which circulate online.
- The speakers include Rory Cellan-Jones, Amelia Tait and Madhumita Murgia
- Wednesday, 25 January, at the Frontline Club in Norfolk Place
I think it is good that some experts are finally starting to weigh in their theories and opinions on the matter of fake news. This is something that should not be left unheard as the experts know thoroughly a lot better about this situation and can offer valuable information and expertise. It is now up to the politicians in power whether or not the expertise will go unheard or not.
