FYSM: Globalization

This guide is intended to help those in the first year seminar with the internationalization and global education theme.

What makes a source reputable?

Transparency is a major factor! 

--checks facts, and if errors are made, corrects them and publicizes the changes

--uses reputable sources (people, documentation) and verifies those sources

--presents headlines which accurately represent the article content; headlines don't play on readers' emotions

--clearly identifies authors of articles with bylines

--produces its own content; doesn't merely aggregate content from other sources

--clearly identifies content types (e.g. report vs. editorial)

--conducts reporting not just editorializing

Content pulled (with some adaptions) from UC Merced Library.

 

Does the publication employ journalists who adhere to a Code of Ethics?
