The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the situation with fact checking, the way the journalists follow the principles of ethical codes while providing information to the mass, whether they choose to be led by information published in online platforms by ordinary people, or, on the contrary, to be the frontrunner source of information to the mass, by providing correct information not fake news. For this we analyze the general role of the media in society, the challenges the journalism faces in the digital age, the role of social networks as source of information, situation with breaking news, ethical challenges journalism is facing in the digital age, cases of fake news with harmful impact, the role of journalists in the digital age. And as a result of analyzed we came to the opinion that these days it is very important for the society to see the quality news written by professional journalists with true fact.References
