story #56 Media figures to form council to fight fake news on the Internet
As the article states, an online news executive is mobilizing key players in the Japanese media to fight fake news on the Internet by forming a council dedicated to the issue. The council will organize study sessions to promote awareness of journalism ethics among online media workers. It will also establish rules providing, for example, how the websites of its member entities will expressly present contact information for inquiries on their articles, which will differentiate them from websites that do not observe similar rules. In addition, the council will develop ways to flag articles whose authenticity has been called into question by readers’ reports or other indications so that information can be shared and warnings can be issued
