Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

🚨 As with any big, developing story, practice patience & seek out credible sources as details are reported about the horrific plane & helicopter crash in Washington, D.C. Our breaking news checklist ⤵️ Download the infographic: bit.ly/BreakingNews... #NewsLiteracy

Text-heavy and colorful infographic titled BREAKING NEWS CHECKLIST with
6 tips on "What to do when information is scarce, falsehoods are rampant
and the story is still unfolding" 1 Mind the gap: Keep in mind that
there’s often a gap between what the public wants to know and the verified
information available. Unconfirmed or completely bogus content often rushes in
to fill that gap. 2 Beware bad actors: Remember that bad actors often
capitalize on breaking news situations to spread falsehoods for easy likes and
shares. 3 Do a quick search: This is often your best defense against
misinformation. 4 Look for evidence: Claims that make bold assertions but
provide no links or other evidence should always be approached with caution. 5
Seek credible sources: Be intentional about looking for credible news and not
relying on social media algorithms to bring you updates. 6 Practice patience:
Quality journalism and verification take time. Be ready to follow news
developments over time.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?
