How to spot a reliable source
2015-07-30 1
Sid
Who?
2015-07-30 2
Who has published the information? Can
you find any information about the person
behind the information? Contact
information?
What makes that
person/organisation/company reliable?
Sid
When?
2015-07-30 3
When was the information published?
Published close to when the event took
place?
Sid
Why?
2015-07-30 4
Why is the information published? For
what purpose? Inform, entertain,
persuade, etc.
Look for tendencies (signs that they have
another purpose than to present objective
information).
Sid
What?
2015-07-30 5
What information has been published? Are
there things they have chosen not to
include? Is the source objective?
Sid
How?
2015-07-30 6
How is the information presented? Does
the website look professional?
Sid
Different types of sources
 Independent sources  different sources that have no
connection to each other or to the event.
 Contradictory sources  different sources that present
the same information, but in different ways.
 Primary source  first hand source
 Secondary source
 Tertiary source
72015-07-30
Sid
Finally
 Always use more than one source to be sure that the
information is trustworthy and reliable.
 Try to use different types of sources (newspapers,
websites, books, magazines, experts etc.).
