Tips on How to Spot Factual or Truthful Information

1. CONSIDER THE SOURCE. Investigate the site you are viewing or reading.

the whole story. You have to read and look for details such as statistics, date, name, etc
3. CHECK THE AUTHOR. Do a quick search on the author to find out if they are real and
credible.
4. VERIFY SUPPORTING SOURCES. Determine if the given information actually supports the
story.
5. CHECK THE DATE. Reposting old news stories does not mean they’re relevant to current
events. It should be updated.
6. CHECK YOUR BIASES. Consider if your own beliefs could affect your judgement.
