NewsMobile has always strived to simplify the fact checking process, in order to involve our viewers and readers as well.
Here are some steps
- Check the video/picture carefully, they might give some clues like billboards, number plates, shop names etc. Also, in the case of videos, listen to the audio carefully, they might also give some hint.
- Run a keyword search on Google; see if there are some credible sources to support the claim.
- In the case of pictures, try doing a Reverse Image Search.
- In the case of important government-related notices & guidelines, look for the primary source.
- Always try to find the primary source.
Apart from this, we interviewed Cristina Tardáguila, IFCN Associate Director, to advice the public on how to fact check.
