While reading news online, how do you know what you read is genuine or fake?

There are certain sites that I get my news from. If I see headlines on social media from different sources I head straight to my trusted news sites to confirm.

What are those sites? Can you please name them, so that others may also be benefitted?

I really don't read news online, we just watch news from our tv.

I check it from another source and from there I get to know if its fake or genuine

 

[Heatman]

I always try as much as possible to verify whatever information I have from at least three different sources in order to know if it's true or fake news.

You can never know what is true or fake. So, it is important to check the news you read from several sources.

If you make sure to have your confirm source where you always get your information from, there is always going to be a high chance of it giving you factual update.

When I read a news article on social media and am not sure whether it's fake or not, I'll check several sources and my trusted sites.

When reading news online, I'm always on the lookout for red flags like sensational headlines, biased language, and unsubstantiated claims. I fact check with reputable sources, like BBC or NY Times, and consider multiple perspectives before forming an opinion.

Most times it can be pretty hard to identify the fake news for the legit ones. One thing I normally do is to search from other sources as well.

 

[freelancermaria]

I am quite diligent about confirming the sources of the news I encounter. If I come across a website that seems unreliable, I make it a point to cross-reference the news with other trusted websites that I frequently visit.

 

[Hate2Wait]

It's not impossible to filter fake news but many people like to check news on Youtube which is mostly fake so they need to check news on news app

 

[Shavkat]

I always check the source of the information before I am going to accept it.

Some of them have wrong dates, it could be that they were trying to bring back past things and display as current. Others don't have a good source of the news, you just notice that it's propaganda.

When I read any news from a site I try to confirm them from there different sites. it would help for me to know how true the news is

 

[Hate2Wait]

I do like the confirm the source of the news and gets it verified from 2-3 sources and this is how we can filter out the fake newsc

 

[nomad]

I check the news source. I do not believe news produced by random website, I make sure it comes from platforms like BBC, CNN, Fox, etc.

When the headline is too sensational, it is very likely that there are some exaggerations to the news and I just take it lightly.
