Fake News Part 2

By Southold | News

Been seeing a lot of stories about fake news lately? Well, it's not going to go away anytime soon. In fact, it may just be starting to grow as more people start paying attention to the trend. There are so many ways people share information these days - the good, the bad and the ugly. Once something is on social media for everyone to see, it's mission accomplished for the sender. Some people will believe anything they see in print.

Are you curious about an email, a post, an article or a website? (It could be about almost any topic.) Something does not look right or sound right?

We recommend you check with your librarian for help. Librarians are trained in evaluating information sources. They are the consummate information professionals, committed to providing verifiable, reliable data to all. And they really want everyone to have information that is trustworthy. You deserve that much!
