This news story would look into the fake news stories that would have sprung up. Google is now trying to debunk the fake stories since they would have a negative influence on its users.
- "Google has given €150,000 to three UK organisations working on fact-checking projects to help journalists and the public avoid falling for fake stories and bogus claims"
- Another €50,000 is being given to a project called Factmata, developed at University College London and University of Sheffield.
In my opinion i think that this would bring in a positive impact on news distribution as it could crack down on fake stories. As well as that Google have also made it a financial incentive to take down false news websites that would change the perception of an audience. This would be good because it could prompt websites to try and make sure that they ban them and present more truthful reporting on the news.
