What's new in the news?

Always fact check!

In an age of increasingly globalization and technology, the world is available to you for free with the click of a button. It's important to remember that anyone can put anything on the internet and because of this, there is a plethora of information as well as mis-information (read: lies/not true). It is important to always check facts! Don't believe everything you hear. A great resource for checking facts can be found by clicking the link below:
