Media and information literacy helps people think critically about messages. Misinformation does not always use a fabricated picture. A genuine photograph may appear beside a caption that gives the wrong date, place or event. The picture can be real while the message around it creates a false impression.
Before sharing an image, read the caption carefully and look for the original publisher. Compare the stated date and place with reliable reporting. Notice when important context may be missing. These checks do not answer every question, but they help a reader make a conclusion that matches the available evidence. Check the message around an image, not only the image itself. Pausing for these checks is more responsible than letting a striking picture decide the conclusion.
