STEPS TO SPOT FAKE NEWS

1. Be Critical

Every time you read, see or hear a piece of news you must ask
questions – and lots of them! For example, you can ask: who said it?;
what did they say?; where did they say it?; when did they say it?; why
did they say it?; or how did they say it? These questions are a good
starting point to make sure that we can verify the trustworthiness of
a news source.
