In the post-truth age that we seem to be living in, being able to ascertain the truthfulness of news or social media posts has become a vital skill. Here is an article reviewing eight fact-checking sites that should be part of your daily routine.
Out of the eight sites listed in the article, I only knew of three (Snopes, Politifact, and FactCheck.org). The article also lists some other sites that are useful but have editorial biases that kept them out of the main article.
Also, this graphic (PDF link), courtesy of Library and Archives Canada, is worth printing and keeping in view when reading the news online.
