Reading note
Build an identity check into the first reading of a news story. Find the precise product described in its underlying report, then compare that description with the name used in the headline. If the headline uses an ingredient name, examine whether the article keeps the product boundaries visible throughout. Follow each major claim back to the version actually discussed rather than assuming every mention refers to the same thing. A useful reading note records the identity alongside the claim, so later comparisons do not silently exchange one subject for another.
