Bridging the Gap: Between People and NEWS Reporters

Abstract

In the digital era, news serves as a critical medium for shaping public perception, promoting awareness, and guiding social behavior. It informs individuals about current events, political developments, and social issues both locally and globally. However, the rapid growth of online platforms and social media has led to widespread dissemination of misleading, biased, or fabricated news, often propagated to serve personal, political, or commercial interests. Such misinformation undermines public understanding and erodes trust in professional journalism.
To address these challenges, this research proposes an intelligent social news platform that enables users to contribute news from their surroundings while ensuring ethical and factual accuracy. Each submitted post undergoes an automated evaluation using decision-making algorithms that verify credibility, assess ethical compliance, and filter out harmful or false content. Verified news is then published, providing users with a reliable and transparent information source.
The platform organizes content into thematic categories, including political affairs, regional developments, breaking news, natural disasters, sports, and entertainment. It incorporates location-based filtering and recommendation mechanisms, allowing users to access regionally relevant news while remaining connected to global updates. Additionally, collaborative features such as commenting, reporting inaccuracies, and community verification enhance transparency and foster user engagement.
The proposed system aims to reduce misinformation, promote ethical journalism, and empower users to act as both contributors and verifiers of credible news. By integrating algorithmic decision-making with community-driven reporting, the platform fosters a culture of responsibility, accountability, and informed public participation. Ultimately, this research contributes to the development of a trustworthy, user-centered news ecosystem that balances technological innovation with the ethical dissemination of information.
