Speaker 1: Ero dot net a r r oe dot net. Not
just one podcast, it's twenty different podcasts. When I'm listening
to a podcast, I don't want the same old story
over and over again. And you know where we usually
go after that, terrestrial radio? You need Aero dot net.
One of my favorite places is my day of Play.
I did it for the students that I'm with all
the time inside broadcasting class. But the thing is, though,
you're just as important as they are. Why not share
with you the real, unedited experiences my day of play
on aero dot net a r r oe dot net.
Enjoy your exploration. Hey, I'm back with more questions. Yeah,
because the fun starts so when you start doing the
research for answers like what is the best way to
identify a new story that's actually clickbait? Plus what's in
the headline that's screaming out Yo, I'm an unreal story,
I'm clickbait. My name is Errow. I'm a daily writer,
a silent wolf, stand on the sidelines and do nothing
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to call
it the daily mass. Yeah. It is a chronological walk
through an everyday world, which means it's my morning writing
as a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people
tend to throw things to the side because we think
we're going to deal with it later on. When a
subject arrives inside of me, it is time to dig in.
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the
research that picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess.
What is the best way to identify a news story
that is clickbait? Now? First of all, clickbait is designed
to trigger your curiosity, your anger, and your fear. They
plant a clickbait story, usually before you actually gain access
to a truth filled story. According to research, there are
a few patterns that can actually help us filter out
than not so true. Clickbait headlines usually leave out key
details by way of influencing you to click in. If
a headline refuses to tell you the basic facts, it's
probably going to be a bent story. Extreme emotional language
is always present with clickbait. They want an immediate reaction
from you, the reader. Words that are used to garner
your attention include shocking, outrageous, destroyed, humiliated, and furious. Authentic
news headlines lean more on staying neutral. Something to take
note of if a headline promises a massive revelation or
life changing secret, it is time to be skeptical. Another
sure bet. It's clickbait when they don't identify their source
of information. So you got to make the extra effort
to make sure that the story you're reading is authentic.
How do you do that? Oh, we're going to cover
that coming up next. Hey, thanks for coming back to
the daily mess clickbait. Every Where you surf on the Internet,
you're going to come face to face with the question
of is this a real story? Always keep your eye
on the importance of the article, being in tune with
the headline. A sure sign is this giant explosive, oh
my god headline followed by a mild h story. The
headline might read company collapses, only to learn once you
get inside the story, yeah, they just lost a few
dollars in profits. Those who create clickbait are doing all
they can to generate engagement. We do it all the
time in radio. They need heavy traffic to make money.
The Associated Press, routers and BBC present restrained headlines because
their entire reputation is set on credibility and not a
certain number of people clicking in. If you feel like
you've come across something that is click bait, take the
time to search other news outlets. If it's real news, oh,
it's gonna spiral through the internet very quickly. And even
then you don't know how true that clickbait story really is.
Remember if it looks and smells emotional in the way
of getting into your anger and other emotions, pause and
do everything you can to research. I feel like a
second grade teacher. Pause, now do your research. Is it
or isn't it clickbait? I'm errow
