you?

Does it refer

? Satire? Hoax?
Never share a story unless you know
for sure what it really says and
whether it’s trustworthy.
3.KNOW THE FACTS
In most situations, different news organizations will report the same
basic facts. If you cannot corroborate these facts across several
reputable outlets, there’s a good chance that the story is fake or
misleading. You can also use reliable fact-checking websites, such as
Snopes.com, FactCheck.org, Politifact, to investigate controversial
stories and claims.
4.KNOW THE DATE

Old news stories are often re-posted or re-packaged


on social media, sometimes in an effort to get more
clicks and more advertising dollars. Check the date
and make sure the information is current, accurate,
and relevant. And for ongoing news events, be sure
to read widely and track stories over time, so that
your knowledge is up to date.
5.KNOW YOURSELF

Research shows that we tend to be the least


skeptical of stories that reinforce our existing
values and beliefs. That means it’s easier to fall for
a fake story if it appears to confirm something we
already believe, especially if it plays on our
emotions. when you read or watch a news story,
consider whether your own beliefs are causing you
to think or feel a particular way about the story.
And try to keep your emotions in check.
