A hoax on the media

Posted by Peishan under Industry News, Journalism & Publishing

When French composer Maurice Jarre passed away on 28th March, sociology student Shane Fitzgerald took the opportunity to test “how our globalized, increasingly Internet-dependent media was upholding accuracy and accountability in an age of instant news”.
