Finding Credible Websites

Finding Credible Websites

What is it?

What kind of information does the website include or exclude?

Verified Facts / Objective (overviews, summaries, articles…)
Opinions / Subjective (blogs, forum posts, social media content…)

Who made it?

Who created the website? Who maintains it? What are their motives?

Look for pages titled:

“About” or “About Us” or “Our Staff”
“Mission” or “Learn More”
“Contact Us”

Why is it useful?

When was the website published/last updated?

Watch out for:

Money Solicitation (such as excessive pop-ups asking for donations)
Information presented as “facts” without providing evidence or verification
Bias
