When you are using social media, reading news articles or researching on the Internet, you need to use critical thinking skills to decide if something is fake news or not. If it sounds really amazing or really shocks you, it could be fake news. Here are some tips to help decide if what you are reading is true or fake:
• Check the source of a news article. Has it come from a genuine news site or website that you can trust?
• Is it an opinionated article or story? Does it have political content and is it just showing one side from a political party?
• Always check news articles have a journalist's name on them. Does it have a recent date on it? If the date is old, it might not be as relevant anymore.
• Does it look professional? Check the spelling and grammar of advertisements and stories. If you spot errors for some of these, it is a possibility that it is fake news.
• Read stories about the same content from other sources to confirm what you have read or to gather different viewpoints.
• Be careful when you come across photo images that may be used in fake news stories or advertisements. Remember that photos can easily be changed through software programmes. You can always do an Internet search to check the source of photos that are used.
