As budding sociologists, in our continuing quest to critically consume information, consider the following recent article, posted in the North Cook News:
- Who authored this article (Who made this message)?
- Who owns/runs this website (Who paid for this)?
- What is this about (and what makes you think that)?
- What are the sources of the information, ideas, or assertions?
- Is this article fact, opinion, or something else?
- How credible is this (and what makes you think that)?
