Facebook tags the Onion ‘satire’ in news feeds
     2014-August-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Facebook is testing a new feature that warns users of satirical content posted from websites like the Onion.

Stories posted in users’ feeds are being tagged as “[Satire]” in an apparent move to prevent them being mistaken for real news stories.

Satirical stories have provoked confusion and angry comments from some social media users.

Facebook said that feedback from users has highlighted the need for the feature.

“We are running a small test which shows the text ‘[Satire]’ in front of links to satirical articles in the related articles unit in News Feed,” a Facebook spokesman said in a statement.

“This is because we received feedback that people wanted a clearer way to distinguish satirical articles from others in these units.”

It is not clear how many satirical sites will have their content tagged in this way, or whether the trial will be rolled out permanently across the site.

Sites like the Onion in the United States and the Daily Mash in the United Kingdom publish satirical news stories that mimic mainstream media and often reflect the current news agenda.

But they are often mistaken as real news stories by social network users and even professional news organizations.

An article titled “Tips for being an unarmed black teen,” published in response to the recent police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, provoked some angry responses from Facebook users.

A website, Literally Unbelievable, catalogues incidents where satirical articles have been misunderstood.

Last year, the Washington Post was fooled into erroneously reporting that former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin was set to join the al-Jazeera news network — a story written by satirical site the Daily Currant.

Facebook为恶搞新闻加标签 

 

Facebook正在测试一项新功

能,提醒用户注意那些来自诸如“洋葱”网站发布的讽刺性内容。

为了防止被误认为是真实的新闻故事,在用户信息推送中出现的讽刺新闻都将被贴上“[讽刺]”标签。

讽刺故事让用户犯迷糊,还会引发社交媒体用户在网上发表愤怒的评论。

Facebook称,从用户的反馈来看,他们十分需要这项功能。

“我们正在进行小范围测试,用户信息推送中的讽刺文章链接前会加上’[讽刺]’标签。”Facebook的一位发言人在声明中说。

“这是因为我们收到用户反馈,人们需要一种更清晰的方法将讽刺文章与其他文章区别开来。”

目前还不清楚有多少讽刺网站发布的内容会加上这样的标

签,也还不清楚Facebook是否会将这项测试推广到全网。

诸如美国“洋葱”和英国The Daily Mash网站会发布讽刺新闻,

它们模仿主流媒体,反映热点话题。

不过社交网络用户、甚至专业新闻机构都经常错以为这些新闻是真实的。“给不带枪械黑人青少年的贴士”一文激起了一些Facebook用户的愤怒回应。这篇文章是对最近美国密苏里州弗格森镇发生的警察枪击事件的回应。

Literally Unbelievable网站将那些将讽刺新闻误以为真的事件进行了收录。

去年,《华盛顿邮报》就被耍了一回,错误地报道了前副总统候选人萨拉•佩林准备加入半岛新闻网的消息。这则消息是恶搞网站The Daily Currant杜撰的。
