It’s Online, But Is It On Target? (Part 2)


It’s Online, But Is It On Target? (Part 2)
Research With Attitude
Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

  • Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
  • What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?
  • Has the article passed through and editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
  • What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.
  • Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
  • Where did the author get this information?

Choose The Right!!!!!!
