Follow news you can trust, not false forwards

Have you ever forwarded a message on social media that you found amazing, only to later discover it was false? If you can honestly answer that with a “no”, you are part of a minuscule minority. In an age in which ‘information’ is anything but scarce, a lot of it is also unfortunately false.
Some of the fake news is harmless, but a lot of it is created with an intent to mislead and can end in horrendous consequences. Recall the lynchings of ‘child lifters’, driven by rumours circulating on social media. Or the Kerala floods when lakhs were driven to panic by ‘news’ of an impending dam collapse.

It is in this context that the Times of India Group and Dainik Bhaskar Group have launched an initiative, ‘Kaun Banega, Kaun Banayega’, a series of films to highlight the fake news malaise and educate readers on the importance of reading the newspaper.
