Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the sites reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·     Look for facts for 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!!!
