00:00:23.088 --> 00:00:25.818
We all have to become digital detectives

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:29.900
The first is

00:00:30.055 --> 00:00:32.435
where is this information coming from?

00:00:33.099 --> 00:00:34.709
A lot of fake news sites

00:00:34.815 --> 00:00:37.431
Try to create a url which is similar

00:00:37.533 --> 00:00:41.491
to a url of a publication that you might know

00:00:41.543 --> 00:00:43.333
or you might be familiar with

00:00:44.113 --> 00:00:47.003
Ultimately, the best way to understand

00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:49.080
wheter or not a site is trustworthy

00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:51.545
is to actually read the context on the site

00:00:51.947 --> 00:00:53.717
not just one article on it

00:00:53.749 --> 00:00:55.619
but other articles and see:

00:00:55.737 --> 00:00:58.447
do they meet the standards of quality journalism?

00:01:11.125 --> 00:01:12.905
If it makes you really angry,

00:01:13.004 --> 00:01:14.184
or really sad

00:01:14.234 --> 00:01:16.107
or it makes you burst out laughing

00:01:16.157 --> 00:01:17.974
that's actually a red flag to you

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.756
because is kinda short circuiting

00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:22.734
your logic center or your ability to think

00:01:26.282 --> 00:01:28.362
I can look up the author of that article

00:01:28.399 --> 00:01:30.876
I can see the other things they've written.

00:01:31.504 --> 00:01:33.452
Is there an author of the article?

00:01:33.476 --> 00:01:35.309
Because, that's an importante tip

00:01:35.368 --> 00:01:36.998
in helping us figure out

00:01:37.042 --> 00:01:38.941
wheter or not this piece of information

00:01:38.961 --> 00:01:41.634
is actually real and trustworthy.

00:01:45.988 --> 00:01:47.868
If i read something that says:

00:01:48.142 --> 00:01:49.642
Scientists say that

00:01:49.758 --> 00:01:51.788
chocolate cake makes you smarter

00:01:51.982 --> 00:01:53.869
Well, what scientists?

00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.136
and, what exactly did they say?

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.270
One of the ways

00:01:57.289 --> 00:01:58.789
in which rumors spread is

00:01:58.838 --> 00:02:00.178
that a lot of people

00:02:00.216 --> 00:02:01.936
keep repeating the same information,

00:02:01.958 --> 00:02:03.840
but nobody has verified it.

00:02:03.904 --> 00:02:05.694
So journalists depend on

00:02:05.710 --> 00:02:07.228
high quality sources

00:02:07.282 --> 00:02:08.322
so experts,

00:02:08.373 --> 00:02:10.233
how did you come across this information?

00:02:10.304 --> 00:02:11.278
how do you know

00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:12.767
that this information is true?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Someone takes
