Credibility of News Articles

I believe that News Article Sources can be very misleading as to whether or not they are being truthful or simply biased. One way to tell if the source is credible, is to use a very well known and reputable source. Another way to tell is to use a source that the web domain ends in something reputable, like, ".gov" or ".edu".

I believe it is very important to stay up to date with what is going on in the world, or around you. Gathering that information though is something that you have to read upon yourself. When searching for things to stay up to date, a lot of the articles or blogs you read can be biased. A good way to tell if an article is biased is if the article tends to talk about one side of the issue. However, a good way to tell if a source is unbiased is if the source discusses multiple sides or arguments of an issue.

How do you feel about the credibility of Online news article sources?
