It is very easy to be tricked by fake news, so how do you know what’s real and not. To evaluate if a article online is truthful, use these tips. Look at the creators’ info. Specifically, check to see if the authors info is on the website and look him up, and check the URL for any unusual marks such as tildes which are usually personal sites. More credible sites usually end in .gov, .edu, .mil, and .org. When looking at the actual article, use the “ CRAAP test—look at the content for its currency—the timeliness of the information, relevance—the importance of the information to your needs, authority—the source of the information, accuracy—the reliability and truthfulness of the information, and purpose—the reason the information exists.” Together, these two strategies along with cross referencing the story with other website should be able to tell you whether your story is accurate or not.
