More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·      Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·      If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background.  If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

·      Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·      Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·       Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.
