Read between the Lines
Make a judgment about 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.
