10 Ways to Spot a Fake News Article

                                                        

2016 was a year with a lot of big news stories - election upsets, Zika, the Syrian crisis, and unfortunately tons of fake news about all of the above and everything in between.

Denzel Washington was recently quoted as saying, “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.” So what should you do? You want to be informed, but a good deal of the information out there is incorrect or biased. Click on the image above for some things to keep an eye out for when reading a news article.

A Rebel's Reading List: The Books Victoria Aveyard Recommends for Her Own Heroine

                                                         

Books contain a great deal of power. No one knows this better than Victoria Aveyard, author of the Red Queen series which brings superhero-like abilities into a YA fantasy world. As King's Cage, the third entry in the series, hits bookshelves, Goodreads asked Aveyard to share the books that would help her beleaguered heroine, Mare, rise up against her tormentors.
