When looking for credible sources of news, it can be hard as many sources like to change the story or leave out information as to appeal to their audiences. It is best to find a good and credible source by looking for an author, reading the headline and determining if it is one sided or neutral, reading subtexts and subtitles to see if it is slandering the topic or changing the main idea, checking the website to see if it is reliable, and checking for accurate dates and accurate quotes. On the Psychology Today website, they list different ways to spot fake news, and state that "If it sounds too ridiculous to be true, it probably is!", which is one of the first things you should always do.
