On the internet, it can be hard to tell what’s true and what’s false, but we have to make a lot of decisions based on how reliable we think things are. In Reality Check, you’ll learn how to find clues like finding where a story originally came from and comparing it to other sources, as well as how to use tools like fact-checking sites and reverse image searches. Now, be ready to spend some time analyzing the source (looking at it closely). Fact-checking isn't easy or quick. It takes time to discover what is true and what is not. Spend some time on each scenario (about 15 minutes) to try to discover if each article is true or not. Be sure to use all the clue available to you in your search for the truth!
