Information is leaking everywhere on the Covid-19. If it is not the media which send alerts when one is subscribed to their feeds, it is a cousin, an aunt, a friend or the grandparents who immediately transfer messages or information received through other people.

Publicity

As you can see, the Covid-19 is wreaking havoc around the world, but it also floods us with information of all kinds. However, among this information, there are infoxes, false information sometimes relayed by major media who also fall into the panel of fake news.

We no longer know what to trust. So how do you young people learn about coronavirus? Are you more like social media or traditional media like radio and TV? Above all, do you distrust social networks because of fake news?
