How to Spot Fake News
Every time you’re online, you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to
tell their story. Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true. Sometimes they want you to
click on another story or advertisement at their own site, other times they want to upset
people for political reasons. These days it’s so easy to share information. These stories
circulate quickly, and the result is … fake news.
There is a range of fake news: from crazy stories which people easily recognise to more
subtle types of misinformation. Experts in media studies and online psychology have been
examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips, and don’t get fooled!
1. Check the source
Look at the website where the story comes from. Does it look real? Is the text well written?
Are there a variety of other stories or is it just one story? Fake news websites often use
addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don’t have many real stories about other topics. If you
aren’t sure, click on the ‘About’ page and look for a clear description of the organisation.
2. Watch out for fake photos
Many fake news stories use images that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site.
Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a
tool like Google Reverse Image search. It will show you if the same image has been used in
other contexts.
3. Check the story is in other places
Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you
do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn’t fake (although there are some
exceptions), as many big news organisations try to check their sources before they publish a
story.
4. Look for other signs
There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads
that pop up when you click on a link. Also, think about how the story makes you feel. If the
news story makes you angry, it’s probably designed to make you angry.
If you know these things about online news, and can apply them in your everyday life, then
you have the control over what to read, what to believe and most importantly what to share. If
you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don’t share it!

Fast Fashion - Clothing's Contributions to our Plastic Problems
How fast fashion adds to the world’s clothing waste problem (CBC – Marketplace)
"Fast fashion is a major contributor to the world's clothing waste problem. Many of us give our old clothes to charity or drop them in a store take-back bin, but you might be surprised to learn most of it is sold and can end up in the landfill."
"Our old and unwanted clothes are creating an environmental crisis. In 2015, we sent 10 million tons of textiles to landfills in the U.S. That’s equivalent in weight to about 5 million cars. If you think you’re solving the problem by donating or recycling your old clothes, think again. They don’t always end up where you expect. NBCLX storyteller Bianca Graulau takes a closer look at the problem of clothing waste and how your shopping habit is hurting the planet."
"A single clothes wash can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres, many of which end up in the ocean. Now some pioneering fashion brands are putting the materials they use under the microscope. Film supported by @The Woolmark Company"
