Excellent message. It can definitely help to check the scholarly articles for yourself, because media reports may underrepresent or misrepresent the results. I've found that if a study that I'm interested in is behind a paywall, I can try one of the following tactics: • Check if the journal is available through my public library membership. [This seems to work about 10% of the time.] • Check the academic or research institution website where the researchers work. (A lot of organizations like you toot their own horn. This information will likely just be the basic findings, not the full paper.) • Find scholarly articles or studies which cite the study, and which ARE publicly available. Then read what those articles say the study says. [This works much more often, but tends to reveal limited findings from the study that I was interested in.] - This is also a great way to look for more information and more research papers on the research topic. I've also heard a recommendation for another way to get a copy of the study so that you can read it: Contact one of the researchers who conducted the study. It's their work, so they can very often share at least something about it freely.

This skill is crucial with today’s news being very much fake. Thanks for sharing!
