The internet contains a wealth of information. But how do you know which sources you can and cannot trust?
Mediawijs produced this poster with the 10 questions you should ask yourself to check is messages are real or fake.

Fake and misleading information isn't new, it has been around since ancient times. Even traditional media sometimes share fake news from other sources too.
But since the rise of digital and social media these messages spread faster and longer. And anyone can produce and publish any kind of information.

How do you then recognise fawlty or misleading news?  Our checklist with 10 questions helps you analyse news and separate fiction from reality.

This poster is suited for schools, libraries, telecentres and personal use.
You can download it at the bottom of this page and print it yourself.

The checklist was based on the checklist by Nieuws in de klas Nederland and was produced with the help of StampMedia and translated for the EMELS project. EMELS was funded with support from the European Commission.
