Abstract: The rapid proliferation of digital media has transformed how people access information. However, this shift has also led to the widespread dissemination of misinformation, with significant societal implications. This study aims to explore effective news verification tools and techniques, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and applicability in the Malaysian context. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research evaluates existing tools such as fact-checking platforms, AI-driven solutions, and media literacy initiatives. Findings indicate that while technological solutions are indispensable, fostering critical thinking skills through education remains essential. This article discusses the implications for policymakers, educators, and media practitioners in combating misinformation effectively.
