Accuracy
Accuracy deals with the "reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the informational content."
Questions to ask [from Chico]:
- Where does the information come from?
- Is the information supported by evidence?
- Has the information been reviewed or refereed?
- Can you verify any of the information in another source or from personal knowledge?
- Does the language or tone seem unbiased and free of emotion?
- Are there spelling, grammar, or other typographical errors?
