Congratulations to all of you for your Final Work for this year, our Project about Mysteries and Fake News.

Before you look at your work, let’s make a reflection. We live in a world where we are surrounded by information and in which technology plays a very important role as a medium to create and share content of all kinds instantly. This takes us to consider both the role of those who create such content and of those who become active readers and spectators. It is very important to turn to valid sources of information not only when creating but also when judging content, especially because as you all know, much of the information you find on the Internet may not be true or based on real evidence, so it could become fake, either on purpose or because the author did not check the sources.

As you prepared your final work you observed different types of fake news I shared with you and you saw the different purposes behind them, for example, to entertain, amuse and make fun or surprise. You also noticed that very often fake news may be intentionally misleading or manipulative, especially in the area of entertainment and politics.

As you worked on the topic of mysteries this year by creating content with fact and personal opinion, now it was time to create fake news based on a real or imaginary mystery. I’m very happy to share them here:

And if you thought the last piece of news was not strange enough, then, have a look at the news about the Reptilians, written by Valentina Díaz and Pierina Lorente. They look scary, don’t they?

This world can sometimes be strange; if you don’t agree, just read this news from the world of science, created by Bernardo Toledo, Catalina Luzzi and Lisa Vasallo about a Killer gene.

Dealing with mysteries of a different kind, take a look at the following news.

A common type of fake news these days is about a celebrity accused of abuse. Can you detect what’s real and what’s fake in this news created by Jerónimo Rocha?

And here’s a fake news on local politics written by Matías Aroza, related to the recent elections in our country.
