CONSIDER THE SOURCE
Take a moment to navigate away from the story and examine the website, its mission, and contact details.
READ BEYOND
Headlines often exaggerate for clicks. Always look for the complete story.
CHECK THE AUTHOR
Conduct a quick analysis of the author. Are they credible? Is their identity verified?
SUPPORTING SOURCES?
Follow the links provided. Verify if the information genuinely supports the main narrative.
CHECK THE DATE
Reposting outdated news articles doesn't ensure their relevance to current events.
IS IT A JOKE?
If it sounds too unbelievable, it might be satire. Investigate the site's purpose and the author's background.
CHECK YOUR BIASES
Reflect on whether your own beliefs may influence your judgement.
ASK THE EXPERTS
Consult a librarian or utilize a reputable fact-checking resource.
