The question behind the headline.
A more considered way to meet a very loud information landscape.
A headline is an invitation to read, not the complete evidence for a claim. Before reacting, ask what the article actually establishes.
Look for the original source and the date. Separate a reported event from a prediction, estimate, or opinion. Pay attention to the limits the source itself describes.
You do not need to settle every question immediately. Keeping track of what is known and what is uncertain is a useful form of understanding.
