In recent years, there is a increasing number of fake news in people’s life, especially news on social media, even news on wikipedia and google. Thus, it makes people start to consider how can backfire people’s media literacy.

The teens is a big part of social media’s users. There are a large number of fake news on the internet. Such as news about sex, health and academic knowledge. It’s a misleading of teenager’s life. Thus, teenagers are told that they need to do research instead of only listening to news. Media becomes the thing people do not trust. Once people loss trust of media, they will suspect every information media gave. it may be dangerous that people can not get correct news at the first time.

In my opinion, as a media worker, we have responsibility to report true things.

Lectorial:

This week’s lecture focus on collaborations. Collaboration is the basic line for media’s works and communication’s works. Its not a gift. Thus, everyone can have this skill.

We all have good or bad experience of group works. We may conflict with ideas, we may have unequal distribution of works or some people just be bossy. Actually, What we should do is sharing our ideas, finishing our own part and helping each other. There are some characteristics of positive collaborations. Such as clear objectives, good communication, consistency and being equitable.

By collaboration, we can get more new ideas from each other, get professional experiences of finishing a work together and get friendship. These things are all significant for our future life.
