Credible Sources

Does it actually address what you are look for?

and does that matter?

How do you know?

Is their goal simply to inform you of the issues?

(They may have a hidden agenda or ulterior motive, such as to promote, sell, entertain, or persuade)

????????????????????

Is it well-established, meaning it's been around for a while?

????????????????????

blogs can be credible if the author is an expert and/or if the sources are cited and credible

the domain name (.com, .gov, etc). this may or may not be an important factor

remember that news companies MUST print the facts - it is illegal for them to knowingly print something false

But news companies also want to entertain. They may embellish, add opinions or 'spin' the story.

Some articles are editorials . This is someone's opinion, not an official report.
