Digital literacy rules of thumb:
Requires some self awareness-- Does it matter to you?
How do you feel reading it? Emotionally..
If a headline appears too wild to be true, it’s probably too wild to be true
Find a second source that happens to be a credible source
Beware of the “example of one”
A story being built around one incident and presenting it as a trend.
Don’t underestimate how lazy some journalists can be.
When you come across a clickbait headline, always ask yourself if the article backup what the headline said. More often than not, it doesn’t.

Know the difference between a primary source and a secondary source.
Know the difference between an opinion piece and a news article.

reference desk at library,
sites that are nonpartisan devoted to get accurate information like factcheck.org
