We discussed about the credibility of the news and its interaction with the audiences as well as how it is spread from one platform to another. Our major question is that whether the messages of the news still remain the same when they are used in many platforms or not. Apparently, how the news is presented does affect the interpreting process of the audiences. Just take an carnival as an example. Most of the time, the news on TV will provide audiences both visual and audio. Meanwhile, the radio just gives audiences the audio and they have to imagine themselves so it might lead to different interpretation.

As we dug deep into the media news, Aisha gave us more hot media affairs which involved in credibility. Finally, we made the decision to focus on how the same news is spread around media platforms and the responsibility of news practitioners. Our plan will be making a fake news about a missing girl who actually just enjoy a camping trip with her father. Her mother states that her divorced husband kidnapped the child. However, the one to blame this false news is the media staffs who do not investigate the sincerity of the story. Following up, we made a brief plan how we are gonna present the whole story in many types of media”text”.
