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:
o Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify
the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
o What are the author’s qualifications for writing
on the subject?
o Has the article passed through an editorial process
designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
o What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like
selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete
information.
o Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
o Where did the author get this information?
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
