<\/a>Searching for Facts<\/p><\/div>\n
How to get accurate news about Israel and spread it.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s acknowledged fact that an increasing number of people are going to the internet for their news and information. The broadcast media are losing the battle to entertain and inform their public and are getting even more desperate to get news out quickly. This panic is showing when serious errors in reporting appear on national and international network news programs. It seems that fact checking is a thing\u00a0 of the past in the rush to get on the air first. Unfortunately social media is also on the list for \u201cbeware\u201d. Israel is seeing a barrage of slanted reporting from most mainstream media in the US and Europe. Unfortunately the press can no longer depended upon to report news, it has become op-ed (opinion-editorial) and totally biased. Being fully informed about Israel is a part time job and for supporters of The Land it is one that has a high priority.<\/p>\n Selecting resources to review and consult requires a set of criteria that can be applied to ranking useful and dependable sources. My graduate degree is in Library and Information Science\u00a0 and there are certain criteria we use to ascertain the authority level of reference sources. When it comes to the internet the task goes from difficult to almost impossible (but do-able) because of the round the clock and around the world nature of the internet.\u00a0 Software makes anyone with a computer look like a serious publisher or\u00a0subject authority.<\/p>\n
