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’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!!!
