(Are any claims supported by reliable evidence?)

• Is the site Impartial?

(Is the information biased?)

• Is the site Current?

(Is the information up-to-date?)

• Who are the Audience?

(Who is the site aimed at?)

• Is the site Reliable?

(Are links from the site working and pointing to other reliable sites?)
