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 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 arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site present only on point of view.

. check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
