It’s Online, but Is It on Target? Part 2


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
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
