There are some sources that are more reliable than others. So can it be any sources online so I can check a few? In general, it’s really good to look at multiple sources, to see whether something is being backed up by other people or by other trusted places.Įhiz: Okay, cool.

If information comes from an expert or a journalist who knows a lot about that topic, it’s likely to be more reliable than information coming from a vlogger or an influencer who knows less about it. Marianna: Yes, it’s really important to think about where information has come from. I investigate them and I debunk them.Įhiz: So, can you tell us how we can find a reliable source?

I’m Ehiz and today we’re talking all things fake news, in the latest episode of For Fake’s Sake.
