Questions to Ask Before Sharing

Before reposting a dramatic political headline, consider the following:

• Does the story contain verifiable facts instead of emotional language?

If the answer to these questions is no, it’s best to wait for confirmed reporting.

Why Responsible Sharing Matters

False reports involving public officials can spread rapidly, creating unnecessary confusion and contributing to misinformation. Taking a few moments to verify a story through trusted sources helps ensure that discussions remain based on accurate information.
