This
article lists the exact steps it gives in the picture and gives
further details on each individual step. The first two are perhaps
the most effective and the easiest to carry out: reading past the
headline and checking what news outlet published the material. Often
fake news publishers will simply “write
the beginning of a story in a straightforward way before filling in
the rest with obviously false information.” The
second thing that the Huffington Post
recommends
is to
check the publisher. Most of the time fake news articles come from
confirmed “Fake New Sources”, therefore it’s easy to know not
to trust anything from those sites. The
other steps detailed can often help knowing if whether or not a
questionable article is legitimate or not.
