How to evaluate websites
Information found on the Internet requires particular attention, as anyone can create a website and post information without review or consequence. It is essential to examine and determine the validity and accuracy of the information published on websites.
Accuracy/documentation
- Is there a bibliography or reference list of sources, including links to other relevant web pages?
- Are various sides or opinions on a topic or argument covered?
- Does the site voice extreme views or use inflammatory language? These are characteristic of propaganda.
