The danger of publishing news without background checks on claims made - it will lead to confusion, defamation and disinformation.

Newsrooms and journalists ought to exercise caution, not to fall into the barrage of mis/disinformation.
Let’s take one example today on the alleged Agenzia Nova article about PM Anwar Ibrahim.

Taking a closer look, there were two articles published, one sensational headline and the other calling Anwar a reformist (in Italian).

Do note, none of these articles have authors. 🚩
Who is Agenzia Nova? Who runs it? Who are they? Why is there an interest of an obscure website in Italian on Malaysia?

Checking its domain information, no identification about the owner or editors. No names of editors and journalists. Socials have little engagement.

Red flags.

Waiting to catch @JJ_Lin tonight for the JJ Lin’s World Tour concert, this is my first concert after almost 10 years since Avicii’s performance in 2013.
Last minute decision to catch @JJ_Lin’s last leg of the #JJLin20 World Tour in 2022 here in Kuala Lumpur! Sort of like a treat for myself after graduating for my masters. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

My worst fear just came, now I have to fork out more money to change flight tickets for my parents, and accommodation too.

Sigh! Image
Expensive to change for flights from Sarawak to KL and accommodation for both my parents who will be here to attend my convocation. All these added to the extra costs and burden.

Imagine so many people who are also affected by these.
The change of convocation date from November to December created so much problems and added more burden, costs to graduates and their parents, particularly those from Sabah and Sarawak.

Plans were made way ahead of time in order for us to arrange flights and accommodation.
