Examples of fake news
- Anti-Trump protesters hired from Craigslist paid as much as $3,500
- El Chapo escaped from Mexican prison again
- President Barack Obama signed an order banning assault weapon sales
- Michael Jordan intended to move the Charlotte Hornets out of North Carolina if the state did not revoke a law disallowing transgender people access to restrooms[

I think people write fake news to get more recognition especially if the article is unbelievable because it makes it more shocking. The shocking title normally makes u want to read the news giving them more profits and recognition.
How to spot fake news is carefully reading the source, checking who wrote it (who the author is). Check when it was made and check if its a joke article. Then you can ask someone with more background experience in that area .

Murdered Girl, formally known as ' Little Miss Nobody' burned remains found after 62 years.
The missing girls remains where found in the Arizona desert 62 years ago but only now authorities have revealed the 4 year old girl was Sharon Lee Gallegos who was born in New Mexico.
She was abducted from her grandmother's yard on 21 July 1960, just over a week before the body was found partially buried in Congress, Arizona.
A gravestone was paid for by local townsfolk and the name on it read, ' Little Miss Nobody, blessed are the pure of heart.'
Sharon;s parents are both dead but her uncle is still alive. Her uncle described Sharon as a 'happy go lucky girl', he thanked the authorities for not giving up.
The suspects for the murder have not been caught however they are suspected to be in a dark green 1951 or 1952 Plymouth.
Many Missing and Unidentified Centres try to identify
the missing girl for years but the case eventually went cold until 2015. The case opened back up in 2015 when her remains where exhumed and the case is still open to this day in hope the people that murdered her get identified.
"Though Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office and the Alamogordo Police Department in 1960 initially suspected the remains found in the desert to possibly be that of Gallegos, technology and science was not sophisticated enough at the time to make the identification," read a portion of the statement from UCSO. "Initial thoughts on the age of the remains, the clothing she was found in, and a mismatched footprint, at the time ruled out the abducted child from New Mexico as Little Miss Nobody."

Good morning this is Bodmin News Live,
At approximately 11:15 last night there was a report of a fire at the historic Bodmin jail.
3 fire engines attended the scene and rescued 6 people with 2 people taken to the hospital, only one person ended up with severe 3rd degree burns.
The value of the newly refurbished jail could end up costing millions to repair as the main cell block has been badly damaged which leads to suspicion of the fire starting in the kitchen.
The fire was finally put out at 6:15 this morning but the extensive damage to the jail could be irreversible.
