If you were writing an
essay about gender
equality, would you be
more likely to select a
journal article written in
2013 or 2023? Why?
Understanding how to assess the
credibility of the information you come
across in your study and research is
essential.
PRINT vs. WEB
SOURCES
PRINT SOURCE
A print source is exactly as
its name suggests - material
that has been printed and
can be produced in a hard
copy.
PRINT SOURCE
These materials are
commonly found in a
physical library when
doing academic
research.
PRINT SOURCE
They generally have been
through some type of
critical review process
that prevents poor
material from reaching the
library shelves.
Unfortunately, this does not give you the
green light to use any book or magazine you
find in a library. You MUST still evaluate how
relevant a print resource is to your topic as
well as its reliability.
WEB SOURCE
Web sources include anything
you can find on the Internet,
which contains a wealth of
high-quality information if you
know where to look.
WEB SOURCE
Some web sources are
databases of scholarly articles.
Scholarly articles are published
in scholarly journals and are
sometimes called peer-
reviewed articles.
Since anyone with access to the Internet can
publish online, this makes it difficult to avoid bias
or inaccuracies. It can also be hard to locate
authors and references. Because of these
concerns, you cannot assume that information on
the web is accurate. Each web page MUST be
critically examined.
LET’S TRY THIS!
Identify whether the
following descriptions refer to
PRINT or WEB sources when
finding or looking for a
reliable source.
Information from many
popular and scholarly sources
is not easily changed or
distorted by simply editing.

05 What is the information’s Purpose?
Claim: In a Facebook
video of the ongoing
conflict between Israeli
forces and the
Palestinian militant
group Hamas, a man is
seen shooting down an
aircraft.
Rating: FALSE
Why we fact-checked this: A
Facebook page named “Mabuhay
Radio Japan – Worldwide” with
43,000 followers posted the video
on October 8. The video, which is
now unavailable, had 103 shares, 83
comments, and 413,000 views.

SOURCE: Rappler
The Facts

The misleading post


featured footage from a
video game simulation, not
real video from the
ongoing conflict.

SOURCE: Rappler
The Facts
A reverse image search ran on
Tineye showed that the video was
uploaded by YouTube channel
RIMStudio on February 27. It
showed a game simulation of a
KA-50 battle helicopter being
shot down by an FIM-92F
advanced stinger missile using
Arma 3, a tactical shooter
simulation game.

Which among
the criteria did
this fake
information
violate? Explain.
While THERE IS NO DEFINITE TOOL that can
be used to gauge the reliability of all
information, there are a number of memory
devices that can help you remember key
factors to consider in determining the
reliability of your sources.
One device is the CRAAP test, developed by
the Meriam Library at California State
University, Chico. Analyzing the C.R.A.A.P
(currency, relevance, authority, accuracy,
purpose) in a print and web source can help
you determine its credibility and suitability.
