Você está lidando com fontes não confiáveis em sua investigação. Como você lida com seus problemas de credibilidade?

Making sure you get the facts is important. Unfortunately that can sometimes be tricky in today's world. When it comes to fact checking I recommend the following: 1) CHECK OUT THE SOURCE When an article cites sources, it is generally good practice to give them an actual check by typing them into your preferred/main search engine. At times what can sound like offical associations are in reality biased think tanks, or are part of a fringe view or group. If you can't find sources, get as familiar with the topic as you can so you can decide for your self the credibility of article. 2) LOOK FOR BIAS Does the article seem to lean toward a particular point of view? Biased articles may not be giving you the whole story.

It depends on why and how the sources are unreliable. I suppose I would try to find more reliable sources to either back up what the supposed unreliable sources were saying or to contradict it. I could also get those more reliable sources to vouch for the credibility of the 'unreliable' ones if they knew them personally or professionally.

En algún punto, hacemos una tarea bastante detectivesca, tenemos que verificar de hechos, somos como "detectives digitales". La verificación de hechos es la piedra angular de la investigación. No te conformes con una sola fuente, sino ir por varias perspectivas y buscar información corroborativa. Cruzar datos, consultar registros oficiales y entrevistar a expertos. Si algo suena demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente lo sea.

En tant que journaliste, il est important de noter que même les meilleures preuves tangibles ne garantissent pas la véracité d'une information. Il est toujours nécessaire d'utiliser son jugement et de faire preuve de prudence lorsqu'on évalue la crédibilité d'une source. Il faut toujours s'assurer que les informations fournies par la source sont exactes et vérifiables, et demander ou rechercher des documents, images, vidéos, etc. C'est aussi important de parler à d'autres sources qui ont connaissance de l'histoire. Leurs témoignages peuvent aider à corroborer ou à réfuter les informations fournies par la source initiale.

Gather and organize evidence from several types of relevant public information (official databases, libraries, media, professional associations, related statements, and reference journals) to examine source credibility. Rank acquired evidence in accordance to verifiability. Primary (official and legal documents), secondary (media, academic journals), and tertiary sources (online claims, tabloids, rumors). Compare all proven information based on substantial evidence to a source’s claims and determine what most facts support. Make an informed decision after giving due time to consider all your findings.

En caso de que no logremos localizar pruebas directas, tendremos que recurrir a testigos o expertos en la materia que puedan aportar su testimonio y conocimiento para respaldar la información. Porque la ausencia de evidencia concreta es una señal de alerta que nos exige redoblar nuestros esfuerzos de escrutinio y análisis, evitando dar nada por sentado.

Los motivos que impulsan a una fuente a compartir información es un factor que debemos evaluar con atención. Necesitamos preguntarnos qué es lo que la fuente podría ganar o perder al revelar determinados datos, y si existen conflictos de intereses que podrían estar influyendo en su testimonio. Sólo cuando entendamos claramente las motivaciones, podremos evaluar adecuadamente la credibilidad de esa fuente.
