Welcome to my blog! Today, I will be verifying the information on an article I found on Newsweek regarding a mass shooting threat by a professor in a prodigious university.
- I started off browsing all sorts of news, then a post about a former professor giving students a shooting threat in UCLA came to my attention. I decided to do further research on this incident as a professor giving threats out to students is rather uncommon; which made me skeptical about the article containing legit info.
- Firstly, I went on Snopes.com to verify the info. However, no information about the incident was contained.
- As no information was given to me on Snopes.com, I did a further investigation on the publisher of the article; Brenden Cole. He claimed he was a senior news reporter on the Newsweek website, and his claims were true! I looked on the website MuckRack.com; a website that verifies news reporters, and he was verified.
- By this point, I can confirm this article is real as a verified senior news reporter wrote the post.
