It’s Online,
but Is It On Target?
Part 2
Research with Attitude
Conduct your research with
the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re
trustworthy, ask these questions:
·
Who wrote the Web page? If you
can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information,
don’t use it.
·
What are the author’s
qualifications for writing on the subject?
·
Has the article passed
through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·
What is the website’s
purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could
result in biased or incomplete information.
·
Is the information
accurate? Is it up-to-date?
·
Where did the author get
this information?
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
