The document outlines 5 lessons for fighting hoaxes from covering the November 13th Paris attacks: 1) In times of crisis, people want reliable news and answers to their questions. 2) Ignoring a hoax will not make it disappear. Hoaxes must be addressed. 3) Everyone can be a media source now through social media, and people are more likely to believe friends over news organizations. 4) Tools like reverse image search and checking publish dates can help determine if a story is fake. 5) In addition to debunking hoaxes, people must be educated on evaluating news sources and information before sharing on social media.

- 10. @Décodeurs Facebook.com/lesdecodeurs LeMonde.fr/LesDecodeurs 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.
