The SIFT Method - Four moves for evaluating information

How can we improve our capacity to sort out truth from fiction online? How can we focus our attention on the things that matter and avoid clickbait? Since 2017, Michael Caulfield has been teaching people his “SIFT” (Stop, Investigate, Find better coverage,Trace claims to the original source) method in order to address these issues. The “SIFT” approach provides a short list of things to do when looking at an online source, and links each of those items to highly effective web techniques. Research shows that people who are fluent in “SIFT” dramatically improve at evaluating sources on the web.
