Between the Lines
Make a judgment 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
indicated 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.
