    Being able to easily create content has led to more or easier access to fake news. This article provides a history of fake news (even back to King Charles II of England and WWII - which links to propaganda), gives examples of fake news businesses, how fake news effects teenagers and how schools are teaching their students about this topic. It is critical of the CRAP test and suggests students should also be taught to read laterally (go to other websites to find out more about the author, organisation or topic) and consider their beliefs about the topic before deciding if it is accurate or not.
