Think about the sources of information you rely on the most and what makes those sources so appealing to you. For each source, ask yourself:
Does this source always provide accurate information?
Does this source provide original information, or does it share information obtained elsewhere?
Is this source trustworthy? Why or why not?
Can I use the information from this source at my job?
Would I recommend the information from this source to others?
How might others view the credibility of this source?
