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 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 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!!!
