A pause, a source check and a careful reading can prevent a misleading claim from travelling further. Go88 explores the practical questions, local perspectives and everyday decisions behind this topic.

Check who is speaking

An account name does not prove authority. Look for the original organisation, publication or named source.

Look at the date

An old photograph or announcement may be presented as a new development. Check both the publication date and the context.

Read past the headline

A headline can omit qualifications included in the full report. Examine what the evidence actually supports.

Share with context

If a claim remains uncertain, do not present it as established fact. Correct a mistaken share clearly when better information becomes available.
