5. Above debunking, educating people to news reading and sharing

- A news shared by an unknown body is more likely to be false than true

- Trust established news organizations, and don't think everything they say is true. News goes very fast in crisis times, medias can also make mistake. Best way to have reliable news is to wait until a bunch of medias confirm it

- A picture alone is never, never a proof. It can be old, photoshopped or manipulated

- Don't trust SMS or messages from people saying they know someone who knows someone who has exclusive informations from the police saying there will be something here or there. They are very probably rumors.
