Media enables celebrity scandals to spread out quickly and exposed them into the fake news. This trend has been accelerated by the introduction of social media where people can easily share the news. Compared to other news, many people learn about celebrity scandals from these social media. This is because the news related to celebrity scandals grabs attention quickly and increases followers/readers for influencers. Therefore, content creators share the news without thorough verification process, and many celebrities are exposed to fake news. I believe both the readers and the writers are responsible for transparent news. The content writers should verify their source before posting on their social media. Indeed, corrections can be made after the false news. However, many readers only pay attention to the original information. Also readers should be more considerate on the information they are consuming and place a neutral stance before it is fully verified.
