✅  Fact checks actually work, even on Facebook. But not enough people see them

事實查核真的有效，即使在臉書上。但沒有足夠的人看到這點。

Here’s how Facebook typically treats misinformation and fact checks at present. Imagine that a friend of yours shares a post with a false claim on Facebook — for example, a post greatly exaggerating the risks of the coronavirus vaccines. If the post reaches a certain level of popularity, Facebook will share the post with fact checkers. With Facebook’s financial support, those fact checkers will evaluate whether the post is accurate or not. If the fact checker determines that the post is inaccurate, Facebook will then append the verdict to the original post and link to the fact-checking website on which the verdict appears.

✅  ‘On background’ is common journalism lingo. What does it mean?

「背景」採訪*是常見的新聞行話。這是什麼意思？

Now, what about “on background?” Typically, that means a source shares information that a journalist is free to use with one caveat: The journalist should not attribute that information to a specific or named person. Again, the agreement should be made before the source reveals the information.

*編註：根據美國國務院《獨立新聞工作手冊》說明，大多數的採訪是「可公開引用的」（on the record），意思是記者可以援引所有被採訪者說的話，並直接說明出處。

如果資訊不是可以公開引用的，那麼記者與被採訪人必須事先就使用資訊來源的條件達成協定。一般而言，「背景」（on background）採訪或「不具名」（not for attribution）採訪的意思是，新聞報導可以用這些資訊，也可以直接引用原話，但不能透露消息來源的姓名；可用泛指的方式說明來源，如「一位外交部官員」或「一位公司工程師」等，但前提是，消息來源與記者雙方都同意採用這種說法。
