*Tips for Identifying and Verifying Information*

In this day and age of non-stop information from endless sources, it’s
important to know what is real and factual, what is an opinion or a belief,
what is an honest mistake, and what is completely made up and fictitious.
Below are some ideas on how to determine what information is true and what
is not.

·       Who or what is the source of the information, what are its
credentials, and is this source an authority?

·       Who is the intended audience and is it a specific group?

·       Can the accuracy of the information be corroborated? Is the
information accurate, or is it slanted in one direction or another?

·       Does the article that shares this information use balanced, calm
language or sensational, dramatic language?

·       Is the information current?

·       Can you find more information about the article or subject by doing
your own research?

·       Have the photos or graphics associated with the article or subject
been altered or faked in any way? Here’s a helpful article
<https://www.poynter.org/news/three-ways-spot-if-image-has-been-manipulated>
on spotting image manipulation.

·       When you do open up an article in your web browser, open another
empty tab and use that second window to look up claims, author credentials
and organizations that are referenced in the article.

·       Most importantly, ensure that what you are sharing or passing along
is verifiable and accurate before you post.

There are many resources for fact-checking and verifying information
accuracy online, and here is a good resource for how to further research
information, at: https://abqlibrary.org/FakeNews/FactCheck
