Chapter 15: News Sources

"As news sources have become more prevalent and varied, the challenge of discerning fact from fiction has also increased" (p. 410). In this chapter, Barbara A. Alvarez focuses on different news source formats and types and looks at the best ways to evaluate these sources to direct patrons to reliable information to meet their needs. Alvarez also takes some time to look at how your own interaction with news sources can affect what you recommend. This chapter also looks at the world of fake news and how to educate yourself and your patrons to identify reliable sources.
