TIPS ON HOW TO DETERMINE WHEN THE ARTICLE OF FAKE!

CHECK THE DATE

This happens all the time — old news stories are repackaged and reposted to generate a fresh wave of clicks, and they get spread around Facebook in a flash. Do you remember seeing your friends posting a story after Donald Trump’s election that President Obama had moved to permanently protect Planned Parenthood? The story is true, with the caveat that the rule has not yet gone into effect — but it was originally posted in September. When it resurfaced last week, it created the impression that the measure was in direct response to Trump’s election, which is not the case.

While old news may well be accurate and not actually fake, resharing it often takes it out of context, which can turn it into accidental misinformation.

So before you do anything else, check the publication date of the story, or run a quick web search of the headline to see when the event it’s about originally happened.

CHECK THE SOURCE AGAINST ITSELF

Maybe the story itself seems plausible (“Hillary Clinton hospitalized following a stroke”) but when you check the source’s other stories, you get things like “Area woman cures HIV through harmonica music” and “Something good happened in Florida.” That’s a dead giveaway that the source is trying out a little (fake) legitimacy to bring in (and trick) readers.

And speaking of the source …

LOOK CLOSELY AT THE WEBSITE

Check out the source’s site before you blindly repost. Does it look like it was designed by a kindergartner on a sugar high with a basic knowledge of HTML? Steer clear.

You should also pay attention to the domain name — sometimes it will look like a legitimate domain, but with just a few letters changed. Also look out for top-level domain extensions (com, org, edu) that you don’t recognize, and labels that are a little too on the nose; if a story about the miraculous healing power of cinnamon buns takes you to cinnamoncouncil.org, it’s probably shady.

Everyone knows The Onion, but some satirical sources (WeeklyWorldNews.com, The Borowitz Report) are less well-known. Others (DailyCurrant.com, DrudgeReport.com.co, MSNBC.co) self-protect by calling themselves satire but try to pass as legitimate.

Look for tiny disclaimers hiding in corners and copyrights. Snopes has a good list of these sites here. And on that note …

VERIFY WITH FACT-CHECKING SITES

Snopes is a great one. Factcheck.org and PolitiFact are others. Don’t hesitate to use them.

CHECK THE SOURCE AGAINST OTHER SOURCES

Let’s say your possibly legitimate story about Clinton’s stroke came from a possibly legitimate source, but you’re not sure. Check to see who else is reporting on it. If the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA TODAY, CNN or other reputable sources haven’t picked it up, chances are good it’s not valid.

And even if they have, check to see if they’ve done their own reporting; if every story links back to the same original source, it’s completely possible there will be a batch of corrections issued the next day when something turns out to be false.

USE REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH

For hoax sources, a legit-looking photo can be a great tool for tricking inattentive readers. Find the photo’s original source by using TinEye or Google’s reverse image search to determine if it has been misrepresented.

Also, speaking of images, this should probably go without saying, but memes are not a reliable news source.

BEWARE OF EXTRAVAGANCE

Clickbait is called bait for a reason — it has to be interesting enough to break the scrolling cycle and take you to a new page. This means pulling out all the psychological stops, appealing to your humor, sympathy and frustration.

Any time a story seems to be too funny, too uplifting, too terrifying or infuriating, that should trip an alarm in your head. Then follow up with your new arsenal of tricks, and it’s almost impossible to go wrong.
