PRIME Minister Theresa May has given her backing to the local press industry’s Fighting Fake News campaign.
The Prime Minister warned of the dangers of fake news distributed on social media and gave her strong support to a free press which underpins democracy by investing in highly trusted journalism.
Mrs May said: ‘We need to be very wary of this concept of fake news. We have got a situation with social media and different outlets where anybody can put something on a social media site as if it’s real without anybody checking.
