Read 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 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 om print or online, should include a bibliography.
