“有两个中国人入围了今年的诺贝尔文学奖20强。”一条虚假新闻再次忽悠了国人,也再次提供了一个解剖虚假新闻的典型样本。本文追述了这个案例的来龙去脉,认为在网络时代,造假者摸清造假门道,致使信源造假成本越来越低,也使得虚假信息散播速度越来越快,范围越来越广。作为“守门人”的记者如何构筑一道不疏不漏的防线,又如何顺势而为,以新思维新方式寻求新闻打假的有效途径?笔者就此做了一些探讨。 “Two Chinese were short-listed for this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature 20.” A fake journalism once again flirted with Chinese and once again provided a typical example of dissecting false news. This article traces the ins and outs of this case and argues that in the Internet age, the counterfeiters find out the door to forgery, causing the source cheating cost to be getting lower and lower, which also makes the dissemination of false information faster and faster and wider in scope. As a reporter of “gatekeeper”, how to build an unobtrusive defense line and how to take advantage of new ways of thinking to find an effective way to fight against the news? The author made some discussion.
