How to Sort Through Misinformation & Disinformation

In today’s world, false information spreads quickly. But don’t worry—here’s how you can stay informed and protect yourself:

Check the Source: Always verify the credibility of the source. Is it a reputable organization or individual?

Cross-Check Facts: Look for multiple sources reporting the same info. If it’s true, it’ll be reported by others too.

Be Skeptical of Sensational Headlines: Clickbait and emotional language often hide the truth. Dig deeper!

Check Dates & Context: Sometimes old stories are recycled or taken out of context to mislead.

Ask Experts: When in doubt, seek out experts or fact-checking websites to confirm the info.

Don’t get caught in the misinformation trap. Stay informed, stay critical, and always think before you share!
