Don't get caught by Fake News - ask yourself: 

  • Has the story been reported anywhere else? 
  • Is it on the radio, TV or in the newspaper? 
  • What do you know about the organization that published the story? 
  • Does the website look genuine? 
  • Does the website address look real? 
  • Does the photo or video fit the content?
  • Does the story sound believable? 

Always read other sources before sharing news
