The Fight Against Fake News

Deputy director of 主播大秀 World Service, Jamie Angus, on how battle with fake new is going after three months.

In 2016, terms like 鈥榝ake-news鈥�, 鈥� post-truths鈥� and 鈥榓lternate-facts鈥� became commonplace. It was also the year 鈥� and not by coincidence 鈥� the 主播大秀 decided to set up its own Reality Check team. It launched in January of this year and now, three months on, and with International Fact Checking Day having just passed, we thought we would find out how it is all going. The Deputy Director of the 主播大秀 World service, Jamie Angus joins Rajan Datar to outline exactly what the commitment to fighting fake news means for listeners.
