What about Web Sites?

The Internet is a rich source of information - both good and bad. The methods recommended for evaluating a news story or magazine article also work well when reviewing a web site. Ask questions about the sources used to develop the information presented on the web site. Evaluate the organization sponsoring the web site, examine the background of people quoted, and review the quality of the references that may be listed supporting any claims.
