Check multiple sources: Verify information with reputable news outlets and official channels. Trust official statements: Prioritize information from verified accounts and press releases. Avoid speculation: Stick to verified facts and clearly label any unverified information. Time stamp: Indicate when the information was last updated. Use trusted fact-checking sites. Try sites like Snopes or FactCheck.org. Be upfront: If you’re not sure, say so. It’s okay to admit that you’re still fact-checking. Follow trusted journalists: They often have direct access to reliable sources. Wait for confirmation: Sometimes it’s better to be second with accurate information than first with incorrect information. Update and correct.

Building trust through verified information is critical on social media platforms. For my News Lady posts on TikTok, I ensure my information is accurate by doing the following: Check for primary source material; don't rely on news organizations to paraphrase or summarize. If a news organization broke a story you cite, use their reporting and give credit. Consistently consult a wide variety of news sources, covering a varied spectrum geographically and politically. Pay attention to what each considers essential and highlights, and compare the reported facts. Check with local outlets who know their communities the best for reporting closer to the ground. Provide attribution to any news source you use, and be transparent.

When the Bills were coming back to win against the Cardinals on 9/8/24, I wanted something to post the moment when Josh Allen made a rushing touchdown. I was counting on the Bills' social media to brag about my Bills. It took a few minutes more than I wanted to get an official post I could share from the Bills' platforms. Ensuring the information I share is accurate gives me confidence that I'm sharing truthful information.

En mi experiencia como periodista y escritora de tres libros es muy importante consultar las fuentes confiables y comprobar la veracidad previamente. Es importante no solo dejarse guiar por la primera información, es importante consultar reportajes, libros y bibliografía también avalada por los entes respectivos. Es importante ser responsable siempre con la información que se comparte.

To guarantee the accuracy of breaking news shared on social media, I verify information through multiple reliable sources before posting. I cross-check facts with official statements or trusted news outlets. If details are still unfolding, I clearly indicate that the information is preliminary. I avoid speculation and update posts promptly as new verified information becomes available, ensuring transparency and credibility.
