KUALA LUMPUR: The spread of fake news through social media platforms is prompting readers to turn to reliable content from reputable news organisations, says a media researcher.
Amy Ross Arguedas, a research fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, said that according to her studies, the younger generation is suspicious of most news they see online, and due to that, they rely on a handful of selected news organisations that they trust.
