How to check: who, how, who else, sentence 3

Checking works both ways: it can show a thing is fake, and it can show a thing is real, like a protest photo printed by three big outlets with the photographer's name.

Who acts: Checking, it, thing, photographer · What happens: check, work, show, be, print, name · To what, where: ways, protest photo · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «How to check: who, how, who else» of the politics course of Mova's primary school.
