Finding information 2

In the past, we would often rely on printed or broadcast material being carefullly prepared and reviwed before it was published. Now, we should be more careful and suspicious because we know that information online may be blased or have some 'spin' to persuade us of someone's point of view.
There are a few things that give some indication of how reliable online information is, for example, by looking at the domain name. But in the end, you have to be carful and exercise judgement.
Don't forget that there are other sources of information still available, for example... 
  • the printed word
  • DVDs
  • CDs
  • images
  • maps
  • conversations 
  • radio and television
