What Questions Should You Ask Yourself When Assessing Information Sources?

When I'm looking at different sources of information, I like to ask myself some important questions. Here’s what I check:

  1. Who wrote it? - I look at the author's background and skills.
  2. Why was it written? - Is the goal to inform, persuade, or entertain?
  3. Is it up to date? - How new is the information?
  4. Are there references? - I check if they include sources and facts to support their claims.
  5. Is there a bias? - Does it show both sides or does it seem one-sided?
  6. Who is it for? - Who is the writer trying to reach with this information?

Asking these questions helps me sort through what's good and what's not!
