Kamal Ahmed Discusses Fake News & Real News
Kamal Ahmed, former Drayton Manor Student and current Economics Editor for the BBC, returned to the school to talk to Year 10 students about the difference between ‘Fake News’ and ‘Real News’ and the current economic climate.
We learnt what to look out for in the media, and how to identify reliable sources. He also warned us about how some businesses use ‘Fake News’ to get customers to buy their products. It really made us think about how we portray ourselves online so that we create a good impression. Even he has been the target of some online ‘Fake News’, which really surprised us.
It was a fascinating presentation and we would like to thank Kamal for taking time out of his busy schedule to share with us his thoughts and opinions on such an interesting subject.
