Tips to Identify Fake News in Social Media

September 14, 2020 by Bautis Financial

These five tips can help you properly identify fake news.

Social media is full of fake news. Here are a few tips to help identify it:

  1. Avoid getting your news from social media. If you see a post on Facebook with news you have not heard anywhere else, that is a red flag.
  2. Don’t trust strangers. If you don’t recognize the source or the author, that is a red flag.
  3. Is it a meme? A meme is any image file with words on it. If a meme has information you haven’t heard before: Red flag.
  4. Does the information have an obvious bias? If it does, it’s probably an opinion piece or propaganda: Red flag.
  5. Can you verify the claims made? A quick Google search should provide additional sources.

If you’re still not sure about a post’s validity, don’t share it; wait for the following news cycle to provide more insight.
