Media Literacy Tips. In this AI era, vigilance is key! 🍁 #MediaLiteracy #Libraries #Literacy #FactChecking 🍁

Media Literacy Tips.

-Who / what is the author?
-Get the full picture. Don’t share posts or stories that you haven’t checked first!

-LOL? Is it too outlandish? Don’t get fooled!

-Multi-sourced or lone wolf? Are other sites sharing this, and what sources do they cite?
-Ask experts. Consult a librarian, an archivist, a fact-checking site, or a primary source.
-Beware of clickbait. Are headlines sensational to attract clicks?
-Adjust your lens.
