9. Search Strategies

Key Vocabulary

Authentic: Authentic is something real, genuine, or true.

Circular Reporting: Circular reporting is a situation where a piece of information appears to come from multiple independent sources, but in fact is coming from only one source.

Credible:  Credible means something is believable, but does not necessarily mean it is true.

Embellish: To embellish is to tell stories that are more interesting or entertaining by adding extra details, especially ones that are not true.

Filter Bubbles: Filter bubbles, according to Dr Seargeant, "are implicated in the spread of fake news because they create conditions in which one-sided and extreme opinions can freely circulate and where information is not easily challenged."

Paparazzi: Paparazzi are photographers who follow famous people to get images for newspapers, magazines, social media, or other outlets.
