Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the sites reliability based on your own analysis of the sites and there information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·         Look for the facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·         Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased

·         Considered whether the arguments are logical and backed up the evidence, and whether the site present only one point of view.

·         Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
