News is supposed to be society’s main source of information, but has anyone considered the fact that some of the “news” we receive is fake? There are illegitimate news sources all over the internet that release false stories. Many individuals who research for personal or professional  run into these fake news sources and base their knowledge on them. It’s hard to tell the difference between real news and fake news because of how well they are at hiding lies. As a result, some people never feel the need to test its legitimacy.

The Sketchy Sources project aims to prevent this from occurring. It informs individuals about how to find credible news sources, detect fake news, and fact check.
