Which of these websites are real news sites and which are fake news sites?
Visit each site and make a note on:
- what does the website look like
- what photos is it using
- what headlines are they sharing
- do you think it is a factual website or a satirical website?

The Onion:
https://www.theonion.com/

The website looks pretty average when you first look at it but the photos and headlines are sort of funny
Some of the photos look real and then others look fake. There's one with a person floating in the sky.
Headlines aren't believable but some are funny because of how stupid they sound.

I think it's most definitely satirical.

New York Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/

The website is neat and organised, with bits of information everything.
Photos all look professionally taken.
The headlines all seem really serious and factual.

I'm sure that the New York Times is factual.

The Civilian:
http://www.thecivilian.co.nz/

It looks really neat and well laid out but it isn't as organised as the NYT.
The photos are basic.
Headlines are funny.

It's Satirical.

The Daily Mail:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
The website is pretty and organised.
There is more than one photo for one news story which seems like a way to get people to click on the story.
Headlines are really long but real.

I think it's factual.

The Daily Mash:
https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/

I'm not sure if the website looks real or fake.
The photos are decent and seem normal.
The headlines have insulting words and they don't seem that real.

I think it's satirical.

The Herald:
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/

The website looks like every other one with stories scattered everywhere and the topics listed down the side so it looks real.
Photos are normal.
The headlines are questionable.

I can't tell if its factual or satirical.
