THE NEWSROOM — Facebook is apparently looking to hire people to help curb the spread of fake news.
The Guardian and other media outlets have reported that Facebook advertised job listings for “news credibility specialists” before altering them to say “news publisher specialists.”
The job postings asked for applicants fluent in both English and Spanish, and previously said the jobs would be involved in the social network’s news credibility program before they were altered, according to The Guardian.
Hopefully, KSL.com’s weekly Fake News Quiz has helped you develop your ability to sniff out misleading headlines so that you might be qualified to apply for Facebook’s new position.
Test yourself with this week’s edition of the quiz, in which you’ll be asked to determine whether or not the information in the headline you see is true or false in each of the five questions.
Good luck! If you can’t see the quiz below, click this link to take it.
