To avoid consuming\u2014and spreading\u2014misinformation, check out these handy, no-nonsense guidelines from Big Red librarians<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The University Library\u2019s <\/em>guide to media literacy<\/em><\/a> starts with a quote from the late U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan: \u201cEveryone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.\u201d<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With election season in high gear, <\/em><\/em>Cornellians tapped both the library\u2019s online resources and the staffer who helps maintain them\u2014reference librarian <\/em>Michael Engle<\/em><\/a>\u2014to compile a primer on how to identify reliable sources of information, on social media and the Internet overall.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as you peruse the news, make sure to \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Wary of What You Read (and Post) on Social<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With little or no fact checking, misinformation (inaccurate info) and disinformation (falsehoods deliberately intended to deceive) can spread like wildfire on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platforms like Facebook and Instagram may be great for sharing pet photos and recipes\u2014but they\u2019re notoriously unreliable sources of quality news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>
\n

Double-Check the URL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some websites spread disinformation in a particularly sneaky way: by disguising themselves as reputable and familiar news sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the New York Times<\/em>\u2019s actual URL is nytimes.com; a site trying to pass itself off as the Times<\/em> might have a similar design, but its URL has a subtle variation in spelling or a different ending.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Beware of Sloppy Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Articles from credible news sources go through a rigorous editing process. If the text is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, it\u2019s a telltale sign that the source may not be legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

Pause Before Sharing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you forward an article or share it on social media, take a deep breath\u2014especially if it got you fired up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since sparking an emotional reaction is a primary goal of purveyors of misinformation, such content merits extra scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Stick to Reputable Sources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve ascertained that a news source is legitimate, search within that site rather than googling the topic; that way, you don\u2019t have to repeatedly check for credibility. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And as much as possible, avoid relying on social media for news\u2014since their algorithms are designed to reinforce your views rather than provide a balanced perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Use \u2018Lateral Verification\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cross-check information with multiple reputable sources. Getting info from a variety of sources can also provide a broader perspective on an issue, giving you a more complete understanding of the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>
\n

Spot the Bad Stats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be an astute news consumer, you need to understand the proper use of data and statistics\u2014and the ways in which they can be manipulated or misrepresented to support a particular view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the resources the library recommends are the TED talk \u201c3 Ways to Spot a Bad Statistic<\/a>\u201d and the article \u201cBecome Data Literate in 3 Simple Steps<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Be Skeptical of \u2018Fake News\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to the way the term has been misapplied in recent years, \u201cfake news\u201d is not a synonym for facts that some people prefer not to believe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its narrow meaning refers to fabricated information that mimics journalism, but was produced without the proper editorial standards and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Learn the Lingo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Credible news sites offer a variety of content; not every article is solely fact-based, though these should be clearly labeled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, op-eds and reviews offer individual viewpoints, while analysis pieces provide context and background to help readers understand a topic.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>
\n

Diversify News Sources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Avoid relying solely on one type of media, such as TV, radio, podcasts, or print (whether on paper or online). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A variety of sources and formats offer a more comprehensive view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

When in Doubt, Check the Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact-checking websites can help determine the validity of a claim.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputable ones include factcheck.org<\/a> (run by the nonprofit Annenberg Public Policy Center); snopes.com<\/a>, a member of the International Fact Checking Network; PolitiFact<\/a>, run by the Poynter Institute, a global journalism nonprofit; and the Washington Post<\/em> Fact Checker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
