BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE - FACT CHECK!

In order to be informed cultural producers of information (as opposed to being cultural consumers), we need to think critically about the resources we are using and citing in our projects. We have a social responsibility to others who might be looking to us for information.  We all have a responsibility to fact-check sources before we retweet or repost so that those that follow us are reading accurate and reliable information.
