Read
between the lines
Make
a judgment about the sites 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, its more likely that the other facts on the site are also
accurate.
·
Study
the language used. It is angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may
indicate that the site is biased
·
Consider
whether the argument 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
