Investigate the source

Ask...

Who is behind the website or social media post?
What is their agenda/ bias?
When was it published?
Can you trust this source?

The best way to answer these questions is to do lateral reading or search the internet to learn what other people say about the source.

Know what you’re reading before you read it.
