Evaluation questions

  1. Who created or published this source? Can you verify their identity and relevant expertise?
  2. What evidence supports the main claim? Can you find and inspect the original source?
  3. When was it published or updated, and is that date appropriate for the topic?
  4. What is the source's purpose, funding or potential conflict of interest?
  5. Does it distinguish evidence from opinion and explain uncertainty or limitations?
  6. Can independent, credible sources corroborate the key facts?
  7. Have you checked the headline against the full text and its context?
