How to Find Reliable News on the Radio

摘要

In an era where fake news and conspiracy theories gain ever more publicity, how can we keep in touch with reality? How can we know which of the many news and features that we hear, watch and read we can actually believe? What news stories are not being covered in the bulletins that we hear7 How can we ensure that we only consume reliable information from the radio, when we have so many stations to choose from? News coverage, by most local and national radio stations, concentrates on major or breaking domestic issues, but coverage of international affairs has minimal coverage. In the UK, news items about the USA or major countries in Europe get prominence but the only times any other countries are mentioned is when there is war, natural disaster or famine. Most countries' domestic radio stations operate in a similar vein, concentrating on national news, often only giving coverage to other countries when they are closely connected.
