Michigan State University’s Quick Check
1. Check the website name and domain: Fake sites often
have a “.co” in the domain.
2. Spelling & Grammar: Are there multiple errors or does the
site look professionally edited?
3. Author Attribution: Is an author listed? Are there links
to their profile and credentials? Anonymous articles
generally should be avoided.
4. Emotional Manipulation: Do you feel emotions by simply
reading the headline?
5. Statement of Ethics: Most reputable news sites have a
Statement of Ethics.
6. Corrections: Again, reputable sites have a Corrections
section or policy.
7. Named Sources, Studies etc.: Does the article name a
source or study for its information?
8. Identify Editorials vs News: Reputable news sources
clearly identify editorials, which as we know are just
someone’s opinion.
9. Check A Reporter’s Body of Work: Does the reporter
have a large body of work? Do they generally cover the
same topic(s), or do the topics seem to be random or
inconsistent?
10. Verify Information Using Multiple Sources: This is a good
habit for all research. Make sure you can find more than
one reputable source reporting the same information.
