In keeping with the theme of information dissemination, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the ways us “digital natives” immediately know a source isn’t reliable. For those of us who’ve been browsing the web since middle school looking for “reliable” sources, we have considerable experience sifting between the credible, the questionable, and the downright absurd. Yet to a digital immigrant, credibility red-flags may not be immediately apparent. As a digital native myself, I sometimes find myself questioning the validity of a website or article. Thus, I though it would be useful and also entertaining to look at “10 Signs Your Source Isn’t Credible.”
