READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Make a judgment
about 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!!!!
