The uphill battle against fake news (and correctly using the term "fake news" in the first place) continues. The latest effort to debunk made-up information is British broadcaster BBC.
On Thursday, The Guardian reported the BBC was forming a debunking team to tackle false stories that often start on Facebook and other social media outlets.

BBC news chief James Harding told staff that “The BBC can’t edit the internet, but we won’t stand aside either," per the Guardianreport.
The team will pull staff from across the BBC, build an "intelligence unit" within the international World Service and use more data journalism to find and debunk incorrect facts, according to the plan laid out at Thursday's discussion.
The debunking effort comes only a day after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump called out CNN for being "fake news" at press conference after the cable news outlet alleged Trump had been briefed on Russia having sensitive information about him.
The BBC earlier Thursday carried a story titled "Things to think about before calling something 'fake news'" which went into Trump's labeling anything he dislikes as "fake news." It also distinguished between unverified and fake news, of which the internet saw plenty during the U.S. presidential election.
In an email to Mashable, the BBC explained how they are building a "slow news" plan, especially focusing on and working with Facebook. Harding in a statement said, “We also need to explain what’s driving the news. We need slow news, news with more depth – data, investigations, analysis, expertise - to help us explain the world we’re living in."
He added, "Slow news means weighing in on the battle over lies, distortions and exaggerations in the news."
