The media and its connection to fake news To get started, the most worrying problem that the media is currently involved in is fake news. In other words, fake news is the phenomenon that happens when everyone broadcasts false information about something, everyone can share a piece of news or a rumour, although not always meeting ethical or similar values. Indeed, we cannot deny that we are totally immersed in a technological system; younger people in particular are more prepared in general, mainly because they can contrast information better than older people, as they can access more sources of information.
