BEFORE YOU SHARE OR LIKE
 
1. If you see a story, video or a meme that triggers your amygdala (fear or anger), check in with yourself. Recognize how you are feeling and ask yourself why the item makes you feel this way and what are the possible motives behind its creation and publication. Remember, the person who shared it with you didn’t create it, so who did and why?
 
2. Look at the source critically. Have you ever heard of it before? Is it a credible source?
 
3. Check other, credible news sources to see if they are also running this sensational “breaking news story.”
 
If your source fails any of these tests, don’t share it. To make the information environment even cleaner, call out to the person who shared it with you and urge them to be more responsible.
