Stay Informed, Stay Vigilant!


In today's digital age, fake news can spread like wildfire. But you have the power to stop it! Here are 3 ways to detect and combat fake news:


  1. Recognize the Red Flags: Watch out for sensational headlines, grammatical errors and biased language.

  2. See Who Else is Talking About This: Check if other credible sources are reporting the same story. If not, it may be fake! (I tend to refer to The New York Times, the Council on Foreign Relations, and CBS News for reliable and credible information).

  3. Turn to Fact Checkers: Verify the facts with trusted fact-checking websites and organizations.
