Part 1
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:
Ø 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.
Ø Study the language
used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the
site is biased.
Ø Consider whether the
arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents
only one point of view.
Ø Check the links to the
sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or
online, should include a biography.
Choose
the Right!!!
