    Here my try of correction.

    Is fake news a problem? Why?

    To work correctly, democracy requires that people are informed about what is happening and WHAT are the possible consequences of a certain decision. In a world where it is always more difficult to distinguish between true and false information, it is also hard to individuate reliable politicians and untrustworthy demagogueS and make a CONSCIOUS choice about the life of the country.

    Moreover, fake news helpS to create polarization in the population and makeS it harsh to ESCAPE by your biased view.

    What does a healthy news and social media landscape look like?

    A healthY news and social media landscape looks like a healthY society. People ARE often unaware that what happens online is real life and so they think that to insult or write whatsoever on social WILL have not consequences IN THE “real world”, so all the personal frustrations are exposed on social media. THE news industry exploits and at the same time is enslaved by this process, feeding people with what they want to hear.

    So, a healthY web environment looks like people BEING aware of their power, wishing to know what is true, even if it doesn’t confirm their bias and respecting different opinions and different people.

    A question: are uncountable names always considered singular?
