Web
Tip!
- If there are ads on the site, think about how they may show a bias to the information.
Objectivity
Information is not always published with information dissemination and education in mind. Sometimes, individuals and groups use websites to distribute information that serves their own purposes. Consider the following questions and concepts when reviewing Global Warming site. Pay attention to the Cooler Heads Coalition link on the top of the page!
- What goals/objectives does this page meet?
- How detailed is the information?
- What opinions (if any) are expressed by the author?
- Determine if page is a mask for advertising; if so information might be biased.
- View any Web page as you would an infommercial on television. Ask yourself why was this written and for whom?
