Verifying Online Information: A Crucial Step Before Sharing
• In today's digital age, the abundance of information available online
makes it crucial to verify the accuracy of what we encounter before
sharing it with others. To ensure credibility, one can start by checking
the source of the information. Reliable sources often include reputable
websites, official publications, or experts in the field. Cross-

its accuracy. Additionally, evaluating the author's credentials and
looking for supporting evidence or citations can further validate the
information's reliability. By taking these steps, we can become
responsible digital citizens who share only trustworthy and accurate
information with our peers.
