Some ways to make sure your sources are reliable is by first researching the domain you found the article on, fact-checking the points within the article with other sources, taking a step back and seeing if there is a certain bias they are trying to promote, and ask questions to see if the article is a solid argument.
Fake news is influencing how students think about politics and democracy as it can mislead them into thinking a certain bias, and not allow them to see both sides of a situation.

# data[].attributes.body
One way to recognize fake news it determining where the information came from and if that is a credible source.
When you read or hear information that seems skeptical you should go out and research from sources that are deemed credible.
Also be aware of what sources have been identified as known fake news websites and stay away from those when trying to find current news events.

# data[].attributes.body
The more sensational the title, the more likely it is false information.

Cross-check the information you are reading or viewing with outlets that you know are reliable.

Are the authors reliable researchers?  The owner of Snopes is not a researcher and the website began as an outlet of urban legends.

Check for repetitious tag or headlines, are the various sites saying the same things word for word? These tend to be from media conglomerates who are not fact-checking their sources for accuracy.

Fake news can become a problem for democracy because people who begin to believe in the false narratives instead of reality, it can cause a breakdown in trust of the government and of the media outlets who are passing reliable information leading to fringe groups to influence people that their system of government no longer works and should be replaced

Fake news are all around us, whether on the computer or not. Here are some tips to help you be aware if what you are reading is fake news:

Check how reliable the source is.

Search other sources based on the same topic.

Read and see what language is used.

Read and see if the article sounds biased or fake.

It is important to know what news are fake or not because it can cause panics or disasters. Anyone can fall victim to fake news, especially children. As a result, people and children begin to have different ideas about topics they are not actually informed about.

1. Make sure the sources of the news is credible.
2. Question whether or not the story has been seen or heard somewhere else.
3. Question whether or not something about the news looks odd or out of place.

Children are especially vulnerable to fake news due to them being the audience that has the easiest access to these fake news outlets. Often children are getting the wrong information and in result, begin to develop opinions and viewpoints based off of wrong information.

Spotting Fake News
When coming across a questionable source or article its important to consider the following:
1. Is the source credible.
2. Question whether the author is credible or not.
3. Does the news story sound biased?
4. Look for other sources covering the same story to confirm credibility.
It's important to identify whether a source is trustworthy or not. We wouldn't want to spread fake news anymore than it already has.

# data[].attributes.body
Fake news always captures our attention. It is important to know facts from opinion and make sure that the sources we are gaining information from are valid. A few ways to make sure that sources are reliable is to

1. Check the sources credentials

2. When and who posted the article.

3. Look at other sources for relative information.

4. Is the source biased towards a certain topic?

Fake news can influence students on politics and democracy because it allows them to see a certain opinion that they may believe to be true. However, it may just be propaganda or manipulative truth that they are reading so its not a valid opinion. Therefore, they are receiving the wrong information that can potentially be unfair to society.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, fake news is everywhere. As future teachers, we have to be able to spot these and inform our students. We have to show them how to spot fake news and what to do when they read about something that isn't true.
1. identify that there is an author
2. check the platform that they are getting information from...is it reliable?
3. look at other sources and see what they are all saying
4. always check to see what the title of the website is...if it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't reliable

There are so many different things to look for when determining what is fake news.
You have to always be aware and use best judgement to see what is being put out online.

This affects children all the time. They are constantly hearing different things and then begin to ask questions. It's important to be able to talk about this and be comfortable showing different ways to spot fake news.

# data[].attributes.body
Identifying Fake News:
1. Make sure it names an author and if it does, research them.
2. Look up the same story on different platforms to see if the information on all match up.
3. Look at the date of the the new story and if it has recently been updated.
4.  Ask yourself if you are reading something that causes humor, if you are then it is just satire. NOT REAL.
5. Look at the domain. This is usually a great indicator of credibility.
6.  Don't go off of the headline! This is usually made to catch your attention and a lot of times when you're scrolling down your feed you will read the headline and BAM, you believe it.

Unfortunately, students today believe everything they see on the internet, Twitter, Facebook, television, etc. Fake news has been leaving a negative impact on our students. This causes them to base their beliefs on nothing but lies. It is our job to explicitly teach how to identify fake news and stop it from spreading.

# data[].attributes.body
1- Research the author
2- Is the article satirical?
3- Check the date of the post to see if it was up to date.
4- Check the domain. if it ends in ".com.co" it is NOT credible.
5- Use a site that will check facts and the validity of a website.

This influences how students think about politics and democracy by altering their views on political issues. Fake news causes issues, gives false ideas and/or hope and clouds judgement in young students.

# data[].attributes.body
Fake news nowadays is easy to spread but difficult to suspect.
Some ways that you can check a resource would be:
- check the source
- check the date
- check the author
- check for biasis
- check what other platforms say about it
- etc.

Still continuing in their education, and also at a young age, fake news would just make it difficult for students to decide what to believe and what not to believe. Lucky for students like us we are specifically being educated on this topic but other students... aren't given the chance and information.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very simple to click a source, read the information, and rely on its credibility. However, fake news is everywhere. One should not trust a source so easily. Instead, one should check if the source  is reveling accurate information by:
1) Looking for an odd website name or domain
2) Determining if the headline and the story relate to one another
3) Doing a quick search on the author
4) Always researching the topic from another source
5) Using caution when sharing information
Fake news can easily influence children to believe anything. They are vulnerable to building certain biases.

# data[].attributes.body
Fake news is everywhere and it can be easy to believe if you are not aware of how to spot fake news. Here are a few things to do to check if a source is reliable:

6) Use caution when sharing information.
Fake news can pose a problem to our students because they can believe what they see on social media. They can be influenced by fake news and build certain biases. It is our responsibility as teachers to instruct our students how to spot fake news from real news.

Personally I believe fake news is negatively impacting students when it comes to politics. Most students don't take the time out to look up the source and make sure what they are reading is true so they believe everything they read whether it is negative or positive, leading them to base their info or beliefs off of lies.

Students need to be aware of what they are reading and whether to believe it or not. As students read this unreliable information their viewpoints can be altered. With the prevalence of fake news, comes the issue of democracy and politics being affected because students may be reading and believing stories that are not true and then spreading them to others.

How is Fake News affecting children today?

Children today have the most access to technology than any other generations. Children rely on their phones and social apps in order to communicate and gain information with the world.  Because of this and a lack of informing about distinguishing fake news, social media is what they take to be the social truth. One other factor that influences people's and children's believes is numbers. The higher numbers in the amount of retweets, likes, and shares falsely determines the sources validity. This has become a really important issue, in having people accept what they hear instead of questioning if it is the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
Fake news is a topic that I had never really thought about up until recently. Although it is everywhere and often believed, it is very easy to spot. Checking the sources as well as reading past the headline is a great way to start when looking for fake news. As a teacher, it is crucial to teach your students the importance of being able to determine whether or not news is legitimate.

# data[].attributes.body
1. FactCheck... Filter it on google.
2. If a article is questionable, do research on the website.
3. Look up the topic of the article, to see if their is other articles based on that topic and if they match up.
4. Check for the ending... .com .edu .net

# data[].attributes.body
You can check your source in fact check.
You want to make sure that the information your reading is somewhere else.
Also, you may research your author and make sure they put out reliable news.
If they are an unknown source than they are most likely relaying "fake news."

# data[].attributes.body
Read past the headline

Check the news soujrce/author(s)

Search for similar news stories

Think before sharing

Children need to be explicitly taught how to spot a fake news article even when it looks like a reputable source. This can affect democracy and politics because so many false stories are spread around social media particularly before election time. If people are hearing/reading inaccurate news stories, they will spread these ideas without realizing the harm it causes. Social media spreads news like wildfire and when the articles are erroneous, mass-hysteria can occur.

# data[].attributes.body
When considering the sources that are out there today, you must always double check what you read. Many times you hear students sharing tweets with each other as if it was a statement issued by the U.S. President. We cannot think that just because something is on the web for us to read, that it is legitimate. Checking the source is the best way to start. To double check the source, you can read what experts of the specified topic have to say... but even then you must consider a bias. Do not second guess your gut feeling. If something sounds outlandish, it probably isn't 100% true. Continue reading on the topic to find out what is the truth and what isn't.

Ask yourself the following questions:

3. Check for more than one piece of evidence that supports a claim.

Fake news can influence the way children view democracy because if a child doesn't know how to decipher between reputable and non-reputable sources, then they will be misinformed.  This can erode our democracy from within by putting false ideas in the minds of our future leaders.

Influence on children?
It is quite often for people to fall for fake news. I myself have done so many times. I knew most of the time that it was fake but i still read the information because it seemed interesting. This can happen to children a lot. Kids read something interesting and read it thinking it is true. It effects their thoughts on certain subjects and their understanding of the true information.

Fake new is very easy to find, Figuring out if its real is not so easy to find.

- Check you resources,
- know where the originals came from
- is this an opinion or fact based article... where did those facts come from.

Students in today's world need to be careful with what they see and where it is coming from. Its like the taking a knee thing in the NFL, Its started as a black lives matter personal issue from one man and has turned into a protest against Donald Trump.

7. Ask experts like a fact-checking site.

How are fake news influencing children?

I think fake news is not only influencing children, but it influences everyone. Nowadays it's so easy for children to believe any political tweet they see on social media. If it has more than 1,000 retweets or shares people automatically assume it might be true and they often even share without knowing if its real or not. This has become a really important issue and we have to find ways to educate children on how to spot real vs. fake news.

# data[].attributes.body
Start with the sites you are familiar with, don't trust your first source, check the date of the article, check the authors credentials and if you still are not sure dig deeper!

Fake news influences everyone!!! When it comes to students and politics and democracy it is much harder for them simply because they are so young and naive. Fake news is make to look and feel real that it is hard to avoid getting caught up in it. Everyone needs to more skeptical about everything they read and everything they hear. It is especially hard on students because many times they are unable to decipher what is quality and what is fake news. It is all made to look the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Reliable Sources
1.  Where is the article coming from? Is it from a source that is familiar to you?
2. Who wrote the article?
3. Is this an opinion or facts?
4. Check the sources.
5. Don't just read the headline. Read the actual article. often time the headline is used to bring you in and you have to read the story to know what the article is about.

How does this affect students today?
I have fallen victim to fake news before. I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable, but it happens. I have let it dictate my views of what ever the article may be talking about. Students today are going to get a lot of information from their parents, and just like me, they may fall victim of fake news. This will affect how they think in my class, and how their attitudes may be in my class. Their opinions may be skewed, and as a teacher I have to be understanding of their views and try to stir the conversation to what is being taught.

How to Make Sure the Sources are Reliable?

1. See if the site looks familiar
2. Fact check your source; Compare the information found on a site to others to check consistency.
4. Compare the facts to various sources; look up other articles posted on the site to see if those are true
5. Check for key components of a reliable article; a date, a list of where the information came from, etc...

How does this Influence Students and their View of Politics?

It makes the students not know what they can and cannot trust. When it is so easy to come across fake news it is hard to trust any source with fear you will hear receive false information.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Question everything! Be critical to everything you read. It is your responsibility to question if what you read is trustworthy.

2. Check out both sides of the argument in the article, does the Article look at both sides, or only one?

3. Take a look at the website that the article is posted on, is the website or news station owned by another company? Does the site or company have a political bias?

4. Check out when the article was posted, it should have a date if it´s a news article.

5. Can you find different articles about the same topic, what do they say? Compare information from different sources to get a broader perspective and a more accurate impression of the case.

6. Refer to a list of fake news outlets to check the source’s reliability

How we think the fake news and sites influence students?

The fact that you today often have to check sources and be critical to what you read, especially online, can influence the way student think about politics and democracy today in a way that makes them more likely to doubt the system.

It makes their view very limited.  The articles decide on what topics we talk about, depending on how much it is covered.

As I first started reading Leon’s post I noticed the first sentence he wrote. “fake news is a problem” I think by using the sentence first it gives the reader knowledge and an understanding of what fake news is already. He then goes into further detail about the topic and how most people are easily fooled and how the information is spread vastly. I also noticed how Leon used Donald trumps campaign as an example. He states that the comments written were all similar except for one reader. He concludes that its society it self that is the real problem.

I like showing people how to debunk viral photos for a couple reasons. First, it requires small enough action that it can easily become a habit. You don't need to do a lot of research or have a lot of knowledge.

Second, it shows how technological affordance (in this case Google Chrome's right-click "Search by Image" function) works to create culture. We need to make you curious about the photos you see. But that's a whole lot easier if the technology makes checking things two steps instead of eighteen.

Finally, it's fun.

In any case, the photo of the day:

So this is part of the whole "Bikers for Trump" meme. Bikers are supposedly coming by the hundreds of thousands to provide "security" for the inauguration.

I'll leave the larger issues of this fascination with biker-based security aside and ask a simpler question. Is this a picture of bikers headed to the 2017 inauguration?

The answer? No. And it takes about 30 seconds to find out.

First, right-click or Control-Click on the image and select search Google for image:

The Google search - for reasons known only to Google - will assume that the best name for this image is "Jesus". Change it to "bikers"

Change the date (using the "tools" button) to end in 2016. If we find that this picture existed in 2016 it's pretty clear it isn't people headed to the inauguration in 2017. Let's look at what we get:

While these are technically the dates that the pages that contain the photo were published (not the publication date of the photo), the results are probably good enough for us to doubt the photo. We can be done here, in 30 seconds.

If you take about 30 seconds more you can do even better. On the second page of results we find a page from 2009:

We have Google translate that page, and find the image there posted on a Czech forum in 2013. In the process we see that this is a photo that has been used by a number of biker groups, but is still relatively rare, and the earliest posting was from a Czech forum.

So no, this is not a picture of Bikers for Trump.

Fake News isnt the real problem that hits society. Its society itself. How can people be so naive to believe things Hillary Clinton having a child pornography ring in pizzerias or dinosaurs still being alive today, or heck, a fly landing on Obama signifying that he's an agent of a devil. People should have enough common sense to know that these trollish types of "information" should be second guessed and the credibility of things should be questioned. There is a difference between being a skeptical person that tries to uncover multiple layers of a topic, and a naive person that believes a completely false story of a topic. The problem is that these naive people that take in this information are actually under the impression that they are skeptical people trying to uncover the truth.

A real solution would be to increase education and give the people a higher public opinion of the government. Its because of such a lack of education and alot of distrust in the government that leads these individuals to believe such malarkey. THE REAL PROBLEM IS NOT THE "FAKE NEWS" ITS THE PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN FAKE NEWS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE DRUG IS TO STOP ALL THE CONSUMERS, IF PEOPLE STOPPED BELIEVING IN FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS WOULD STOP BEING SUCH AN "ISSUE"

As we look at the issue of fake news, fake news is not a new concept. However, under the presidency of Donald Trump, fake news has taken a toll on society. The underlying problem to the spread of fake news is an uneducated youth. Majority of believers of these fake news articles are uneducated individuals. Most sites that administrate fake news are used for the sole purpose of entertaining the masses and obtaining profit. To tackle future problems, people should be educated on the reliability of new sources as well as the rise in fake news.

Fake news is a very big issue in this country, especially when politicians use it as a tactic for election. Fake news almost always blends in with real, factual news, which makes this dangerous when people incorporate fake news into factual news. For news to be effective and factual, all statements must be backed up with evidence and the evidence must be explained accurately, or it can be skewed or manipulated. There is no excuse for people to be so ignorant and blinded by fake news when everyone has easily access to the internet and a quick search. Most websites and newspapers should be verified, and all statements should be checked before they are incorporated into someone's political opinion.

Some of the issues with fake news is that there is news that can support any idea so untrustworthy sources can rovide research and proof even for a false idea and will keep people from finding out weather they are right or wrong. Because people can back up there facts they can feel very strongly because they are able to have a reasonable argument because they have support even if it is in true.

Article 1 talks about how kids are told not to trust sources such as Wikipedia and to ,rather , find credible sources but kids tend to think the first thing that comes up on google counts as credible. they don't realize that in this day and age you can  never stop questioning the credibility of everything especially the news this includes if the news even happens or is accurate in the first place or the various biases involved.
Recently trump called out a cnn reporter for being "fake news" which was very dangerous. This is because people should be questioning news for themselves and not tKing his word for it , which many people do to Donald trump . Donald trump could possibly be the fake news we Need to be wary of.  Also, it was mentioned that there is a problem present called digital gaslighting  where large groups of people  attack both individuals and groups with the targeted group losing a grip on reality and what is actually going on. this causes individuals to question truths to friends/allies in society.

To see if sources are reliable, one can check the news outlet itself and see its reputation. Also, check to see if the source has reliable sources itself. One must look for the authors or outlets personal bias.
We believe it influences students to a certain degree but a large amount of fact checking does occur in school, which is amplified by open debate.

When reading the news you should fact check all statements and claims and make they're factually accurate. Donald Trump has called CNN and many other news sources "fake news. With the world becoming more connected though the Internet, Trump is able to use social media to reach more Americans than ever before. Facebook is starting a new project based on fake news. They would like to create a broader connection  between news sources and journalists. This is an effort to limit the spread of fake news and further verify reports. Americans should start taking action against fake news. Recently, Buzzfeed released alleged information about ties between Trump and Russia. Because of this, he is telling Buzzfeed that there will be consequences. He even  compared today to Nazi Germany.

Fake news has been more difficult to track down than your average uncopyrighted novel. While it's difficult to distinguish viable content posted on the Internet, there are a few pointers that help uncover the false information. First, you must look into the editor/ writer and company the news comes from. Once you've checked the credibility of the outlet, you should look into similar articles. When looking amongst similar articles, finding the one with the earliest time stamp and reading that in depth can help you to understand the original story.  For example, you can make use of FactCheck.org for justification.

Fake news is not a new concept, but has recently gotten lots of attention as a result of some of the candidates, like Donald Trump, who is now the president-elect of the United States. Throughout his campaign he received a lot of criticism for getting his news from wikileaks. Recently he has even called a CNN reporter "fake news" and refused to answer a question. I think this claim is very dangerous to make because yes most if not all news channels will stretch the truth accroding to their bias. The real problem is believing something is fake when several sources prove otherwise. Add to the fact that people nowadays are gullible enough to believe anything that shows up on social media as true. The best way to deal with fake news is to acknowledge that it is a thing, knowing that it won't leave, but taking steps to not believe everything you see. For example, if you do happen to see something on social media, google it and use well known news sources that are known for giving legit news. The point is really to certify that what you are reading is factual and not opinion by using several sources and to not believe the first thing you see. If you do happen to see an image of news with a title that seems questionable, analyze the details that are on the photo, like the photo with the person holding the flag from Venezuela at a supposed anti-Trump rally in Los Angeles when it actually involved an event in Venezuela. The image of news should have immediately given a red flag when a Venezuelan flag popped up because, generally, seeing that in an event like that one makes no sense and breeds suspicion. Just be cautious when reading or viewing something that claims to be news.

Fake news is something that is plaguing todays media. Unfortunately there are not many ways to combat it. By reading the articles we have come to a few conclusions.
1. Always check one article with 3 others to make sure it is true.
2. Check other sources on the website to see if they look credible.
3. If a story is released by numerous sources then it is credible.
Ignorance let's fake news thrive in the world. The public has to shape up and become more educated and logical in their decisions.

Mario, Michelle, Christina     -Most people believe what they want to believe, no matter how verified or discredited a news outlet or article could be. This is why, in our opinion, fake news is a passing issue. People will believe what they want to believe, when it comes to the majority. Especially on social media platforms because of you get your news front there, there's no telling what may or may not be true. And that is why news and media has lost its dignity.
