Huff’s Tips on Dealing With Fake News




This article lists the exact steps it gives in the picture and gives further details on each individual step.

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.

The other steps detailed can often help knowing if whether or not a questionable article is legitimate or not.
