    JUDGING THE RELEVANCE AND WORTH OF IDEAS, SOUNDNESS OF

    AUTHOR’S REASONING, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRESENTATION

    In this time of pandemic at the digital age, online media play a crucial
    role as we obtain much of the information, we need through many
    platforms available such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
    Each provides rapid dissemination of information, which also allows us
    to access news to keep us updated. But we have to remember that not
    everything we see or hear in social media is true. Therefore, we should
    learn how to assess and filter data before we react or believe in a
    certain issue.

    As we try to gather information from various sources or platforms to


    keep us updated, our capability to judge the truthfulness and relevance
    of ideas is imperative. We must remember that before we believe the
    articles or materials we have obtained, we should check first if it is
    factual or misleading. Thus, we must know the different tips on how to
    distinguish factual or truthful information from a faulty one.

    RELEVANCE is how appropriate something is to what is being said at a


    given time.

    TRUTH is something that has been proven by facts or sincerity.

    Tips on How to Spot Factual or Truthful Information

    1. CONSIDER THE SOURCE. Investigate the site you are viewing or


    reading.

    2. READ BEYOND. Headlines can be outrageous in an effort to get


    clicks, so you should focus on the whole story. You have to read and
    look for details such as statistics, date, name, etc.

    3. CHECK THE AUTHOR. Do a quick search on the author to find out if


    they are real and credible.
    4. VERIFY SUPPORTING SOURCES. Determine if the given information
    actually supports the story.

    5. CHECK THE DATE. Reposting old news stories does not mean they’re
    relevant to current events. It should be updated.

    6. CHECK YOUR BIASES. Consider if your own beliefs could affect your
    judgement.

    REMEMBER THIS!

    Checking the legitimacy of the information will keep us from being a


    victim of fake news or faulty information. While as a receiver of
    information, we need to sharpen our skill in judging the relevance and
    worth of one’s ideas, since we may have to use it as bases of our
    personal decisions in some situations.
