[ISLMA-Share] Fake News Articles for high school

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Not the answer you seek, but here's a couple of useful leads:

The BBC is launching a team (based on their Reality Check) to debunk fake
news. Guardian link
<https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/jan/12/bbc-sets-up-team-to-debunk-fake-news>

Also from the "other side of the pond"  American University students "solve
Facebook's fake news problem." BBC link
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/38013285/students-solve-facebooks-fake-news-problem-in-36-hours>
The code is open source. Could be a useful student project.
