Some key things to consider when finding sources are ;

  • when was it made? is the info still relevant to today?
  • who wrote/made it? Is there information about the author anywhere?
  • where is the source located? is the source in a big new channel website or a small anonymous website?
  • last thing ! check the website's URL does it have .org, .edu, or .gov ? websites with this in their URL tend to have reliable information

Hope this helps !! :))
