Practical habits for telling reliable information apart from misinformation, without needing to fact-check everything you see.
Misinformation spreads faster and looks more convincing than ever, and most people don't have the time to fact-check everything that crosses their feed. This guide is the flagship starting point — a set of fast, practical habits for spotting likely misinformation without becoming a full-time fact-checker.
Inside: the warning signs that a claim deserves a second look, checking a source's credibility quickly, recognizing emotionally-charged framing designed to bypass careful thinking, and knowing when a claim is worth verifying versus when it's safe to move on. Practical and quick, not an academic media studies course.
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
