Students are being given guidance to determine whether the information is news, opinion, gossip, advertising or propaganda. If it purports to be news, students are being encouraged to look at from several perspectives: who created it; what sources are cited for any claims; whether there is documentation to back up assertions; whether it reflects bias, and whether it is fairly presented.
