You find a list of websites that relate to your chosen topic and click on the first one. You ask yourself the three questions presented in this lesson to see if this site is reliable: 1) Who wrote it? There isn't an author listed anywhere that you can find. 2) What type of site is it? The site name ends in . 3) How current is the information? You see the site was updated yesterday. Is this website reliable and worth examining further? True or False?

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Information reliability is essential in production. sourcing information from a reliable source is base on several criteria. They are; the author of the resource file, the type of media platform holding the information, the frequent revision of the information, additional support or collaboration to publish public information, etc.

A government website ( with the site-address ending with a '.gov' ) which is concurrently revised by the institute, gives a piece genuine and reliable information, whereas a commercial website with no author and just recently revised or published, would be judged as an unreliable source of information
