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 webpage? 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!!!
