I am currently participating in a project initiated by user:Michaelacaulfield to improve the coverage of historic local newspapers in Wikipedia. One of the best ways to help readers sort out whether a newspaper is real or fake is to check Wikipedia to see if it has an article (and what that article says). Having newspapers documented is also crucial to Wikipedia internally, since many historical claims are sourced to local papers, and editors require context on the nature of the publication the material appears in. This project, Local Historical Newspapers on Wikipedia (LHNOW) https://hapgood.us/2018/05/29/announcing-the-local-historical-newspapers-project-lhnp/ will help to improve the quality and reliability of local news sources, particularly historic newspapers.
