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 indicate
that the site is biased.
· Consider whether
the agruments 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.
