Answer:

Review coverage of the event from other media sites before making an informed decision on whether the information is accurate or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student selected an article present on a reputated news site but found that there are several pieces of information that do not align with other sites.

The Student should review all the coverage of the event from other media sites in order to check which is accurate and which is not. After reviewing the sites and their coverage then only one should make an informed decision accuracy or inaccuracy.
