Major TV news channels such as Asianet News even made a detailed report on the matter and aired it on their channel. Various online and print media also quickly jumped on this bandwagon. But was the news true or false? The answer is both are correct!<\/p>\n<p>Trivandrum was indeed selected as the best city in India for \u2018Quality of Life\u2019 according to a survey. There is no doubt about that. However, that news was first released in March 15th 2016, almost 9 months back. Here is the proof. Entecity covered that news that time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27422\" src=\"http:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2017\/01\/Screenshot_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"994\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2017\/01\/Screenshot_3.png 994w, https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2017\/01\/Screenshot_3-768x403.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can read the whole news here &#8211; \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/trivandrum-ranked-as-the-no-1-indian-city\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trivandrum ranked as the No.1 Indian City for \u2018Quality of Life\u2019!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>So how did an old outdated news came back again?<\/h3>\n<p>A few days ago, we Entecity re-shared that same news article written 9 months ago by our own staff on our Facebook page. The news article went viral all over social media and all the major media including online, print and visual media picked it up and made a report about it. Because they all thought it was a latest news. \u00a0They failed to fact check the news causing it to go viral all over again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEnteCity%2Fposts%2F1392554547430777&amp;width=500\" width=\"600\" height=\"482\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time, something like this happening. \u00a0Many newspapers and online media have been victims of onion articles or fake news.
