The best piece of advice is to stay critical! So:

- Recognize the “WOW” effect of the news (if it sounds too

good or too crazy to be true, it possibly isn’t true);

- Take off your bias hat .

- If you have enough time, pick up and check the info, talk

with the experts or witnesses;

- Check if the website, article or image have been debunked

previously: (for instance on sites such as

Snopes.com, Factcheck.org, Washington Post Fact

Checker, EU vs Disinfo, Google Fact Check

Explorer

and other sites that publish debunked fake news.
