Verifying information before sharing
Before sharing information, especially on social media:
- Cross-check with multiple sources: Ensure the information is corroborated by at least two credible sources.
- Read beyond headlines: Headlines can be misleading. Read the full article to understand the context.
- Check for biases: Be aware of your own biases and avoid sharing information that only reinforces preconceived notions without proper scrutiny.
