In the modern world it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish true facts from false information. However, it is the duty of every person to constantly work on a culture of information consumption.
If you follow simple recommendations and precautions, you can identify fake information:
- Check the source. The article should indicate the sources of information. You shouldn’t trust "anonymous sources", "inner circle" and "former employees who wished to remain anonymous."
- Check the dates, geographical positions and other news related to the described situation. If a lot of inconsistencies are presented it means that the article contains hardly any true information.
- Do not judge an article by title. Frequently the title information does not match the text.
The specialists of the Anti-fake news Investigation Agency launching by the Europe Business Assembly (EBA) are always ready to help you in fighting against fake information.
