How to Spot Fake News

Consider the source

read beyond the headline

Is there an author? Check out their credentials.

Headlines can be outrageous in an effort to get clicks. Whats the whole story?

INFO

Supporting sources?

Click on links or check with official sources. Do they support the story?

is it a joke?

If it is too outlandish, it might be satire. Research the source to be sure.

check your biases

ask the experts

Consider if your own beliefs or concerns could affect your judgment.

Ask a Librarian, or consult a fact checking site or official source like the WHO.

INFO

Look before you share!

Don't share post or stories that you haven't checked out first!
