Read Between the Lines
Make a judgment
about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the
information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:
·
Look
for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those
facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also
accurate.
·
Study
the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may
indicate that the site is biased.
·
Consider
whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the
site presents only one point of view.
·
Check
the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether
in print or online, should include a bibliography.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
