1. First view the Validation Videos. 
2. Before evaluating an article or news, investigate the original source by using the technique described in the videos to find external, unbiased information to gauge whether or not the source is reputable. For example, if you find an article in the New York Times, you'll want to evaluate the publication, the New York Times. Find out what outside sources say about the publisher or organization by doing an Internet search.
3. Move on to the checklist to review the specific article if it seems like the source is reputable.
