Fighting Fake News
The term ‘Fake News’ has been causing ruckus in today’s digital world and for all of us part of this industry, misinformation and manipulation has been one of the main concerns. With the proliferation of powerful social media platforms, there’s been a drastic rise in the spread of fake news and misconceptions in order to influence the public’s perception and destroy the brand reputation.
Owing to the high volume of such posts, Asianet News Digital Media initiated a Fact-Check process to ensure we fulfil our responsibility of presenting the truth at all times. Given that a chunk of News Reports published in India are either in English or Hindi, a majority of the population especially in tier-2 or tier-3 cities and villages is strayed away from the truth. Thus, India’s leading Digital Vernacular News Network, Asianet News Digital Media took the onus of separating the fact from the fiction for our devout audiences.
In 2019, the Malayalam website successfully launched the Fact-Check initiative led by the Chief Editor, this much-needed initiative was subsequently replicated in our other languages.
A team of seasoned editors, who have years of experience in bringing the truth out, form the core of Fact Check team at Asianet News Network. Respective language Editors along with a few hand-picked journalists from his/her team follow a set process to ensure truth is not compromised.
