Evaluating Sources and Fake News

Separating Fact from Fiction

In a world full of information, it's important to know what's trustworthy and what's not. Evaluating sources helps you make informed decisions.

Questions to Ask

  • Who wrote it?
  • Is it up-to-date?
  • What is the author's purpose?
  • Are there supporting facts?

Everyday Impact

These skills can help you spot fake news and avoid being misled by rumors online or in conversations.

Examples

  • Checking if a viral story has been reported by multiple reputable news outlets.
