Can you believe it? Not always! All Media Literacy Week we’re learning about fake news and how you can learn to spot it. Today we’re learning how to think like a reporter to help identify fake news stories.

Title text reads “Think Big to Find the Fake”. Smaller text reads “ Question it. Be skeptical. Ask yourself if something’s just not right. Is it trying to spark a big emotional response? Have other media covered the story? Check the source. Who posted it? What do you know about them? Check out the author, photographer and people quoted. Are they real? Do a search to see what others are saying about it. Try a reverse image search (like a keyword search, but for images). Has the original image been altered? Check the date. Is it old?”Title text reads: “Be Like a Reporter and Do Your Research” Below is a small comic. A reporter is shown interviewing someone who tells him that the moon is made of cheese. Next the reporter does research on him computer and finds that the moon is made of rock and iron. The reporter calls a Nasa expert who says that the moon is made of rock and iron. The last panel shows the reporter with a speech bubble saying “Blue cheese? Nope. Need to nip that rumor in the bud!” His computer screen shows that he searched “moon myths”. A preview says that “In 1546, John Heywood jokingly wrote, “The moon is made of greene cheese.” (mental floss) Below the comic are illustrations of young reporters.A green background with the book cover for Can You Believe It? centred.
