Fake News: Some Questions to Ask Yourself:



... whether you read, repeat or repost news, here are some questions to ask yourself:
  • Have I heard of the publisher before?
  • Is this the source I think it is, or does it sound a bit like them?
  • Can I point to where this happened on a map?
  • Has this been reported elsewhere?
  • Is there more than one piece of evidence for this claim?
  • Could this be something else?
