For a person that lives in an era when information is accessible and can be very powerful, it is important to know the current issues to keep abreast of what is happening in the city and the country. A number of sources of current events are available, particularly for people who can go online to search for them. Because of the vast options, it is hard to trust everyone that claims to know something online. Take a look at the following ways to protect yourself from incorrect weekly community news and entertainment.
Whenever you would like to know something, go only to your trusted sources of information. Some of these are the medical and education websites and those that are being managed by reputable journalists and broadcast organizations. These entities follow procedures to ensure that what they publish is correct to protect their names and reputation. Journalists also follow standards to ensure balance in presenting their reports.
Even if you know what the website of your trusted organization is, double check the address bar when you type the domain to make sure that there is not typographical error. Some individuals may have bought domain names that have typographical errors and may be using them to pose as the original site, except that the information published in them did not undergo the same fact checking process.
Using social media is also a quick way to get information from journalists since they can share this without having to write long articles that usually take time. When viewing reports on social media, refer only to the official pages or accounts of the broadcast companies. Look for the indicator that tells that the account has been verified to be owned by the agency.
You can also follow the verified accounts of the journalists, broadcasters and celebrities that you would like to know about. Not everything that they work on will get reported during the newscast, yet they are likely to share about these on their official accounts. Be wary though that if these are popular personalities, there may be fan pages and fake accounts that are easy to mistake for the real ones.
Information that you are unsure about may be cross checked with other sources. For example, one broadcast organization can claim about having an exclusive report about something, if this is something of importance, another journalist can find his sources and publish a report on it. There should be more that one reputable source of information to be certain that it is true.
If you have got some information yet you are unsure if it is trustworthy, you can go to the websites or the pages of fact checking organizations. They consider it their duty to protect people from fake information by cross checking popular topics on the internet. If they do not have what you are looking for, you may be able to request for their assistance in checking a report that you have read.
Sharing of information quickly is enabled by the wide and unlimited access to the internet. This could be a problem in determining if something is true since fact checking is much slower than just clicking on the share button. Before deciding to share something, take steps to check the facts and to look for signs of fraud.
