It is all about the accuracy in blogging, journalism, and publications. We, the audience, the readers, rely on whatever is being read or looked at as a pre-assessed fountain of truth. When we click on a website, scroll to a picture, or read a sentence it is automatically a fact. Pictures say a thousand words, but what if those words, the same words we read in a sentence of an article are actually false?
There is a moment our tummies do a little somersault and lips quiver at the notion a piece of “what the should be” is “what the is not.” Have no fear, it is up to us to become skeptical- let the questions arise and the brains turn on! It is time for us to take action in behind the truth factors, the validity, and reliability of the source: RESEARCH!
My favorite historical website is USHistory.org partly because I am a history buff and a love a good fact-of-the-day about U.S./American History. The domain registration results from whois.com resulted in as follows:
