  3. Reliable information The official definition: “The Reliability of a piece of information is the degree to which it can be trusted.”

  4. Reliability What makes a piece of information reliable? Information can be judged reliable or not based on who says it, what proof they have, if they have anything to gain\loose by telling you the information. Who? Some people are more reliable then others, for example a professor of political science is more trustworthy on his subject then someone who is less qualified. Proof? The best test for reliability is evidence, can they prove what they are saying? Unfortunately this isn't always possible. Bias? Finally if someone has something to gain\loose by persuading you of their point of view then they will be less reliable then someone who doesn’t.

  5. Facts and opinions • A fact is something which is always true. For example • “The capital of France is Paris” • An opinion would be something which different people may have different ideas about. For example • “French people are much more friendly than English”

  6. Starter Facts and opinions You will be split into to groups and given a number of statements. Split the statements into two categories, those that you think are facts or which ones are just opinions
