Kia ora Caleb,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting topic choice - and very important these days to make sure we are fact-checking anything we see online! I really liked the way you have included some other websites for people to go to to check their information, and the fact that you included a glossary as well.
One thing I would like to see you try is adding more pictures to your blog posts - perhaps you could think of some ways to include some images in amongst your writing, to make your posts more eye-catching?
Ka pai tō mahi - good work.

ReplyDeleteGreat job with all the definitions, your work really reads like a "how-to" of checking for fake news.
I was interested in all the facts in your fake news story, where only the headline is fake. Apart from the headline, how you could have made the article more fake?
