Key concepts A cursory glance, typical of scrolling through social media feed, is unlikely to yield a critical analysis of whether a source is credible. But the impact can be lasting. Barbara Alvarez The only way to change the way fake news creators behave, is to change the behaviour of the audience. Nick Enfield, Professor of Linguistics, University of Sydney

So none of your answers work for me. If I was going to share or like it I’d verify it first • True... but probably a crap edit • True, but misleading title.
