More tips

Finally, look beyond the articles for more clues.

·         Read the websites 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; A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism. Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.
