Summary | Traditional news media should not have to help social media find "fake news". Fake news can be a threat, but they can also give an advantage to journalists. Indeed, if there are a lot of fake news, an audience will appreciate a serious piece of news even more. Facebook has been blamed for the spread of fake news. However, Sheryl Sandberg claims that Facebook should not have to evaluate and select its content. External experts should do that. However, Facebook already filters some content related to hatred for example.

Finally, families should have rules for new media use at home.
