Acknowledgement of uncertainty ➶

Jon Udell, writing in 2021:

The best way to improve news literacy may be the SIFT method advocated by Mike Caulfield, which shifts attention away from intrinsic properties of individual news stories and advises readers to:

  • Stop
  • Investigate the source
  • Find better coverage
  • Trace claims, quotes, and media to original context

“The goal of SIFT,” writes Charlie Warzel in Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole, “isn’t to be the arbiter of truth but to instill a reflex that asks if something is worth one’s time and attention and to turn away if not.”
