Three key criteria for selecting the most appropriate online media sources are:
- The Credibility of the source: The question here is, who authored or created the media? Is it a blog? or a peer-reviewed website?
As a rule, peer-reviewed blogs or online sources are more authoritative and are considered of better quality than other sources. Some examples of peer-reviewed sources are:
- Blogs and websites of educational websites especially those with the dot edu, and dot gov extensions. Examples,
- US Census Website
- Bonston University Blog
2. Coverage of the topic by the media source
Many writers are paid to put forward biased opinions to appear as facts.
A biased opinion is highly unlikely to present an objective argument.
A balanced assessment of a topic is one that looks at both sides of an argument and arrives at a logical summary.
3. Accuracy
An accurate online media will usually list the sources from which it arrived at its conclusion so that they can be verified.
Accuracy also speaks to the degree to which there are typographical or grammatical errors.
The best materials are those without any type of error.
