Who can we trust?

Fake news and questionable theologies abound. How can we navigate with confidence? (SWORD COMMUNITY)

For the last few years there has been a service offered by the Saltshakers website that has proven a lifeline for many.

In the old days we had very few news and information sources. It started with the daily newspapers, where you picked the editorial line that you felt most comfortable with. Then came the two TV channels, followed by a third, then a fourth and a fifth, until satellites, cable and broadband brought us a plethora of alternatives, literally running now to tens of thousands, if we include blogs, social media and video channels. How on earth do we mere mortals navigate through that lot and get news stories that we can trust? There’s a simple answer … curation, someone you can trust selects them for you.
