990-16产品经理:How do you know what information sources to trust? 你怎么知道哪些信息来源是可信的？

You might come across hundreds of claims in a single day. Claims can come from a dizzying number of sources – friends and family, co-workers, journalists, politicians, businesses, news organisations and governments.
Claims can also be delivered to us in many ways – for example, via traditional media channels, from people we know on social media, or from family members at the dinner table.
Whenever a person shares information, they become an information source. It’s important to ask critical questions about an information source before we decide that it’s trustworthy.
In this article, we walk you through three key critical questions our professional fact-checkers ask to help decide which claims are credible and which ones are misleading, suspicious, or just plain wrong.
你可能会遇到数百索赔在一天之内。索赔的来源多得令人眼花缭乱——朋友和家人、同事、记者、政治家、企业、新闻机构和政府。
索赔也可以通过多种方式传递给我们——例如，通过传统媒体渠道，来自我们在社交媒体上认识的人，或者来自餐桌上的家庭成员。

在这篇文章中，我们将向您介绍三个关键的问题，我们的专业事实核查人员会询问这些问题，以帮助您确定哪些说法是可信的，哪些说法是误导性的、可疑的，或者仅仅是错误的。

Who made this claim? 这个说法是谁提出的？

We often know the people in our social circle who stick closely to the facts and those prone to re-framing information to support their own beliefs. But when friends and family share information from someone else, things start to get more complicated.
Online, it’s even more difficult because we encounter lots of people and organisations that we don’t have any direct experience with.
To work out who is making a claim, it’s important to first identify if they are a named source or an unknown or anonymous source.
News organisations will always attach their name to the claims they make via news stories, while the journalists that work for them usually do this as well. This is important because it means the news organisation, and often the journalist as well, can be accountable for the claims they publish.
In Australia, if people believe a news story contains factual errors, they can challenge the news organisation, ask them to provide further evidence, or to retract the claim. If they think they’ve got it wrong, they can make a formal complaint.
People are far less likely to make things up if they are named as the source of information because there may be consequences for giving false information.
As a general principle, journalists use named sources in their stories. Again, this means someone can be held accountable for these claims. A named source of information can be asked by others to provide further evidence or more information. Including the name of a source next to
