It is necessary to read updates on current issues when you would like to find out what goes on in your locality and in the country. There are a variety of sources of current events, especially now that more and more people have access to the internet. With the abundance of sources of information to read and share, there is the risk that proper content verification has not been followed. Here are some ways to ensure that you are reading correct weekly community news and entertainment from the internet.
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.
There may be journalists and broadcasters you know you can trust, and you can follow their official social media accounts. Most showbiz and sports personalities also have their accounts that you can follow. Doing this will send updates to your time line from the people you are interested in. Be sure that what you follow are their official accounts since there may be fan pages and dummy accounts for popular personalities.
Counter check your information before you decide to share it to your network. You can do this by looking for other reports on the matter. While an individual or a company can initially claim exclusivity or being the first to know the situation, if it is a newsworthy matter, other respected organizations are soon going to find other sources and to report on the same topic.
In case you are having trouble finding another source of information or you could not judge the data yourself, go to websites or pages of organizations that do fact checks on popular reports. Find out if they have labeled the information as fake. If you could not find anything about it, there are times that they welcome suggestions on things that needed verification, so you may send them a request.
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.
