These days, finding information is a simple click away. But how can you tell if what you're reading is true or false? Or if it's fact versus fiction? With fake news on the rise, fighting misinformation is more important than ever.

But spreading false information isn't only a product of the internet era--the human tendency to lie or mislead has been around as long as we've been sharing stories. Did you know that the New York Sun printed articles about life on the moon in 1835 that were completely false just to sell papers? Or that a fake article claiming that American politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wanted to create a "nationwide motorcycle ban" was shared more than 6000 times? Discover well-known episodes of misinformation throughout history. Read about real examples of fake news and learn how to spot it with ten concrete actions, including how to investigate a source, weigh the evidence, ask the experts and look in the mirror to check your own bias.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
