Question

Describe in one or two paragraphs some steps you can take to make sure that a news article or post is truthful.

Answer 1

Answer:

     News online is often fake or false, so you must take additional steps to ensure what you're reading is true. First, you should check the url. if it is a .gov or .edu, it it usually a reliable source. .com websites mean it is a commercial website, one that is just trying to earn money or fame. .edu means educational, and .gov means government, both of which are almost always truthful. That's one of the steps you can take to confirm what you're reading isn't a lie.

     You can also check other reliable sorces to see if they say the same thing. If you read an article off a website, Wikipedia being a good example of this, they usually have the sources they used to write said article. Wikipedia always has a list of these at the bottom of their pages. You can check those sources to see if they are reliable, and if they are that increases the validity of the article you read.
