Perhaps the best way to think of the reliability of information is to think of it as existing on a scale, rather than falling into the categories of reliable or unreliable. Information can rangefrom very unreliable to highly reliable and also anywhere in between.

How can you judge the reliability of the information that you find?
One way is to compare the information about the same topic across multiple sources.
Let’s look at three different sources on the Internet about the same subject:
Elvis Presley
![Page 29: English 10 Academic March 15 (B) & 16 (A), 2018€¦ · and check for reliability.

Let’s compare some sources and check for reliability.
As we visit these websites, ask yourself:
Which one would you judge as having the highest reliability? Which one would you place lowest on the reliability scale? Which one might fall somewhere in between?
You will need your “Judging Reliability by Comparing Sources” worksheet.
