How to Spot fake News

Even though fake news isn't the newest thing to take over in our society, many people turn to this to promote information for the sole reason of getting the attention of a wide amount of people. There have been many instances in which people find ways to help spot fake news and one of them is to 'vet the creator's credibility.' This is one of many different ways to help spot this, but if an author of an article isn't proving that they are credible and that their info isn't backed up by factual information, this starts to raise red flags. Another way to help spot fake news is to check on the actual quality of the piece; many times it will include many different errors in the structure of the written piece. This is very important for anyone who is active on social media because there have been an extreme rise in fake news articles, and they are definitely something to watch out for.https://www.summer.harvard.edu/inside-summer/4-tips-spotting-fake-news-story
