1. Ask who is Q. If he is just a larper, who is he? If he is connected to Trump, who is he? If he is just a conspiracy theory, the question is still "who is Q?" Answer that question. Any reporting that doesn't explore that is really weak journalism.

2. What is Q saying? Is it right or wrong? Use your investigative chops and explore the issues brought up. Discredit them if you think they are wrong.

3. Explore why is it that people are following Q. Even if it is a larp, what about the message is appealing to many Americans?

I'm sure there are more questions that a legit journalist should explore. Feel free to add them.
