Don’t let fake news fool you – use these four tips to check anything you read online that you are not sure about:

The story

what are they trying to say? Is it an ad or a joke? Look to see if you can find the same story somewhere else

The author

Is it someone’s opinion or a fact? Real news will most likely have a link to the writer’s details, but if there’s no author, dig deeper

The website

Are there spelling or grammar mistakes? What’s the URL? Check the address bar at the top – most trusted URLs end with “.com”, “.co.uk”, “.net”, “.gov”, “.org”, “.mil” and “.edu”

The date

Is the story recent or old? It could be outdated or a copy of something that happened years ago. Computer programs called bots post anytime and often, so be wary of this.

How do we tell if something is fact or fake?
