Looking for credible websites

In classes, we were asked to design a blog and the first thing that came to mind was "piece of cake, I will write about everything available on the web". It turned out to be not that easy. When designing and creating anything related to Internet you have to research a lot, and at the same time you should not miss your main idea (since there is so much to read about, to write about and there are too many webs in which to look for information). So the question here is: When does a website provide reliable information?

These are the most important points to be taken into account:



  • Purpose: What is the page written for? (commercial, educational, personal purposes)




  • Authority: Be sure to check who is writing and to check the credentials the author may have. Is there a way to contact the author?




  • Objectivity: Does the content reflect a bias?




  • Currency: Is the information updated?




  • Clarity: Is the content presented in a clear way? Is it easy to understand and follow?

  • The video below summarises in a perfect way what I have explained and also provides examples and visual support for the key points mentioned above.
