READ BETWEEN THE LINES

MAKE A JUDGEMENT 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:

·      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 BASED.

·      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.
