If you are questioning the reliability of an Internet news source, which of the following would be the best way to verify the accuracy of the information?

To judge whether an Internet news source is reliable, check who wrote the information and the source’s background, expertise, and reputation. This helps you assess whether the author and publisher are trustworthy. Simply trusting something because it is online, or asking people who may not have verified it, does not establish accuracy. The best answer is “Check the background of the author and the source.”
