PEOPLE’S PERCEPTION AND TRUST IN RADIO JOURNALISM: A PANACEA TO MITIGATION OF FAKE NEWS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

The study was sought to find out the people’s perception and trusts in radio journalism a panacea to mitigation of fake news from social media. Disinformation and hoaxes, often known as "fake news," are spreading and influencing how people view daily events. Several information systems have become more polarized and confrontational as a result of foreign players, citizen journalism, and the proliferation of talk radio and cable news. False news and sophisticated disinformation efforts are particularly problematic in democratic systems, and there is rising debate over how to handle these concerns while preserving the benefits of digital media. It is critical that government, business, and consumers work together to tackle these difficulties in order to maintain an open, democratic system. In their society, governments should support news literacy and robust professional journalism. To develop public trust and correct fake news and disinformation without legitimizing them, the news sector must deliver high-quality journalism. The study also reviewed the concept of journalism, Radio Journalism, Fake News, Social Media and How Radio Journalism Advert Fake News on Social Media. It was on the same point that the study concluded that the proliferation of disinformation brought about by the rising usage of social media platforms is a major modern concern. It contributes to political polarization and has an impact on a variety of fundamental rights, including the right to free expression and equality. Yet, given the absence of unprotected speech, the remedies for misinformation are mostly social and educational at this point. These methods and initiatives, along with fact-checking and the production of counter-narratives, continue to be the favored vanguard in the fight for the truth while protecting free expression. A lack of vital news or information could lead to chaos as people are misled by inaccurate information. One of the recommendations made was that Government should provide in-depth and evidence-based information that is authoritative is unbiased and offers a balanced approach.
