Is the evidence strong?

• Are the journalist's sources credible, current and relevant? Are they presented accurately?
• Can I verify information in other types of media (e.g., journals, magazines, reports)?
• If there is a study or poll, is the sample size large enough to represent the population accurately?

Is the article written objectively?

• Are all views explained in neutral language?
• Do the conclusions follow logically from the analysis?

How does this source fit?

• Does this add a different point of view?
• Does this make sense, given what I already know?
