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 and
editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
. what is the website’s purpose? Look
for motives—like selling products or writing 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!!!
