Fake news is false information that is deliberately spread in order to gain something financially or politically. It often contains eye-catching headlines and fabricated articles to lure people and increase online sharing or readership. There are several types of fake news such as propaganda, satire, conspiracy theories and those that are simply not true at all. All of these types of fake news can influence the opinions and feelings of the reader and cause them to make poor decisions based on what they believe from what the read. To reduce the chances of being deceived by fake news, you can always consider the source to determine whether it is credible or unreliable, and also investigate beyond the article by comparing it to other sources to find out if it is valid.

Your digital persona will determine how people perceive you online. It should be uniquely interesting, as well as informative, because it represents you to people who have never actually seen you. Make sure to stylize and personalize it to make it more appealing for others. Always add new content, and update existing information to showcase your current status, goals, and projects. It will help you greatly if you think of new and creative ways to boost your digital persona; this will help you connect and acquaint with the right people. Ultimately, if you can intertwine your digital persona with actual social interaction, it will help you succeed.
