In a world overflowing with information, it is crucial that we develop the skills to distinguish between credible information, #misinformation, and biased content. Here are some tips that can help you become a responsible #media consumer: - Evaluate the Source: Check the credibility of the source. Is it a reputable publication or organization?

Recognizing the intent can help you understand potential bias. Like and share this post to helps reduce the spread of misinformation and foster a more informed society.
