Jeff StoneI've been looking for resources like this. In our era of #alternativefacts #FakeNews and the explosion of #media sources, we need to teach both kids in school and adults how to identify reliable sources of information they can use to form opinions and make decisions. I would add one more suggestion to this graphic:
CORROBORATION? See if the story is also being reported by other well-known media sources.
