When big news breaks, it's easy to get caught up in following the story online. The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1. Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.
Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.
2. In the rush to cover stories, reporters make mistakes, officials don't always have correct information and tidbits (八卦新闻) that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.
Use social media wisely. Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3. On the other hand, Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.
Be skeptical. 4. After the Boston Marathon bombing, NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims. Not true. There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories. The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians. Visit them to find out if a story is true.
Keep it age-appropriate. Kids aren't always ready to digest big, tragic news - especially if the news is about kids, such as school shootings or abuses. The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids, and at the beginning of a news event, parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5.
A.Remember, breaking news is often wrong.
B.It also can be the source of misinformation.
C.If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
D.Make sure you and your kids aren't falling victim to false news.
E.However, after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.
F.With social media at your fingertips, it's convenient to express your opinion.
G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.
