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 an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·      What is the website 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!!
