Browsing: Fake news

In recent years, the rise of online news portals and social media platforms has revolutionized the way news is disseminated. While this has undoubtedly brought numerous benefits, it has also given rise to a concerning trend of false news and misinformation. One such example is the recent false report of the death of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) in Nigeria, General Christopher Musa. Reporting false news of such magnitude is not only unethical and unprofessional but also constitutes junk journalism, posing a serious threat to national security.
