The fact checking sites included in this toolkit help to verify that information comes from a trustworthy source. Media sources feel pressured to report the news at a greater speed than ever before, often resulting in an erosion of accuracy. Fortunately, there are a number of online tools that help verify facts and data; some of the most recommended sites are included here.
These websites have taken up the task of increasing awareness against rumors and misinformation by presenting evidence and hard facts.
