In these days, many news or useful information we can get from the internet, but not a few of this information or news is exploited by certain elements changed then spread it to the internet. Hoax often spread by untrusted people or media for certain reasons. Hoax is an information or false news with the intention to deceive, circumvent or incite the reader. Hoax can trigger and affected community and make them trust the information, and this is something wrong which can cause hatred among humans. Hoax is trappy for a new Internet user, as they are easily influenced and easy to believe without finding out the authenticity of the information. Then how to outsmart these hoaxes or false information? As a good reader, we should be aware of the authenticity of the information so that there is no misunderstanding and misguided by hoax maker.
To better know the characteristics of the hoax,  here following few example:

First, hoax maker make the news unreasonable, the news is too good to be true and too bad to be true, (example: Pertlite fuel prices down to IDR 1000/litre next month)
Second, hoax often bring big names, without strong evidence for the underlying (example: NASA is going to build new office in Banjarmasin)
Third, distributed via broadcast or less credible media. If find any big case news, but only shared via broadcast-Line, WA, etc., and the media are less credible, it is a sign if the news was a hoax.
Why? Because of credible media not likely to risk his reputation to share hoax.

So a review could about the hoax, actually there are many other traits, but it’s already enough to find a hoax. Wish the readers can wisely responding to a news or information and not directly trust a news by a less credible media.
