Here are some ways to avoid fake news:
- Use the criteria for evaluating information: Accuracy, Authority, Objective, Currency, and Coverage.
- Look at the domain name and the URL: News organizations typically own their own domain name.
- Check the credentials of the author.
- Check the links of the article: See if the information leads to credible sources.
- Look at the date and see when it was written.
- Look at the comments that are listed below the story.
- Open a second window and research the claims that are written in the story.
- Check your own biases: Sometimes we tend to look at information in the prism of our own beliefs.
