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 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!!!
