News Tips
Avoid Confirmation Bias
It’s natural to seek out information that agrees with what you already believe. That’s called confirmation bias. To stay informed, challenge yourself to read news or opinions that differ from your own perspective. Ask: “What evidence supports this?” and “Could there be another explanation?” Thinking critically helps you form opinions based on facts, not feelings.
Cross-Check
Before sharing or trusting a story, verify it with multiple reputable outlets. Reliable facts should appear consistently across several nonpartisan sources. If only one website or social media post is reporting it, dig deeper. Look for original data, official statements, or reports from well-established news organizations.
Avoid Heavily Polarized Sources
Be cautious of media that uses emotional language, insults, or one-sided storytelling. These are signs of polarized reporting, which can distort facts to fit an agenda. Instead, choose outlets known for balanced coverage and transparency; those that correct mistakes, cite their sources, and separate news from opinion.
