| Abstract | The "post-truth era" is what we might call the era of false news and rumors. In the past, in the presence of specific and limited media, the continuity of news and the selection process was complete and standardized, due to which the media of the past were ethical, credible, complete and selected. The "post-truth era" is in fact a term that covers the prevalence of misinformation and fake news and the consequent unpleasant accidents and the consequent adverse effects on society over the last ten years. The exchange of substandard, unsubstantiated and fake news in less time than true, standard and authentic news in itself is a disruptive process in itself. With the advent of modern times and developmental stages, the growth of the media is a continuous constructive process, logically and theoretically it is a good change but in practice the result has been different from the expectations. Social media is working as a complete modern media channel, and is now being used extensively for communication and news coverage. To properly interpret the term post-truth era, writers should be asked to know the rules and ethical linguistic boundaries. What percentage of writers know these rules or not? Karachi-based bloggers and who are running YouTube channel from about 100 male and female were asked to fill out a survey form and were asked to analytical questions about the relevant boundary laws and response to their content |
