Check multiple sources: Verify information with reputable news outlets and official channels. Trust official statements: Prioritize information from verified accounts and press releases. Avoid speculation: Stick to verified facts and clearly label any unverified information. Time stamp: Indicate when the information was last updated. Use trusted fact-checking sites. Try sites like Snopes or FactCheck.org. Be upfront: If you’re not sure, say so. It’s okay to admit that you’re still fact-checking. Follow trusted journalists: They often have direct access to reliable sources. Wait for confirmation: Sometimes it’s better to be second with accurate information than first with incorrect information. Update and correct.

When the Bills were coming back to win against the Cardinals on 9/8/24, I wanted something to post the moment when Josh Allen made a rushing touchdown. I was counting on the Bills' social media to brag about my Bills. It took a few minutes more than I wanted to get an official post I could share from the Bills' platforms. Ensuring the information I share is accurate gives me confidence that I'm sharing truthful information.

En mi experiencia como periodista y escritora de tres libros es muy importante consultar las fuentes confiables y comprobar la veracidad previamente. Es importante no solo dejarse guiar por la primera información, es importante consultar reportajes, libros y bibliografía también avalada por los entes respectivos. Es importante ser responsable siempre con la información que se comparte.

To guarantee the accuracy of breaking news shared on social media, I verify information through multiple reliable sources before posting. I cross-check facts with official statements or trusted news outlets. If details are still unfolding, I clearly indicate that the information is preliminary. I avoid speculation and update posts promptly as new verified information becomes available, ensuring transparency and credibility.
