How can you determine if news is real or fake?
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Who is the author? What do you know about the author?
2. Is the source a standalone company or part of a larger company?
3. Are there 'red flag' words that will help you pick out bias?
4. Investigate the URL - is it a .gov, .org, .com? What is the domain name?
5. Triangulate - look at other articles about the same topic - Try snopes.com, factcheck.org, or hoax-slayer.com
