What To Look For in a New Article
Consider the source (to understand its mission and purpose)
Read beyond the headline (to understand the whole story)
Check the authors (to see if they are real and credible)
Assess the supporting sources (to ensure they support the claims)
Check the date of publication (to see if the story is relevant and up to date)
Ask if it is a joke (to determine if it is meant to be
satire
)
Review your own biases (to see if they are affecting your judgment)
Ask experts (to get confirmation from independent people with knowledge - such as librarians!)
