Public campaigns to enhance awareness of utilizing information from only valid and reliable official statements and resources are key!
I agree with Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak
It is critical to conduct advocacy and awareness programs on the utilization of information resources from official and accredited sources such as library databases or government sources. Authorities could equally put in place stringent measures to check information pollution.
In the area of information acquisition four steps are recognized :1. Identifying one's information needs 2. Accessing the information 3. Evaluating it and 4. Utilizing it. Now your question falls squarely on the third step according to this conceptual thinking. What you do with the information you access before using it is very important. One must evaluate the information carefully before deciding to use. In my view this is the most important step in which people need training, awareness creation and critical thinking skills to guard against falling victim to information -pollution.
