Many other news and information sources are available either in full online or behind a paywall. When considering an online source, ask yourself: Is it news? Is it reliable information?

Is It News? Check out this flowchart, and ask yourself if it satisfies this criteria:

• Is it informative?
• Does it rely on facts?
• Can you tell who wrote/created it?
• Is it objective?
• Is it timely?

If it's not news, it might be an opinion piece, infotainment, marketing, propaganda, or a scam. 

Some of these might still provide good information, so apply the CRAAP test to decide if information is useful to you:

• Is it Current?
• Is it Relevant?
• Is it Authoritative?
• Is it Accurate?
• Does its Purpose match your information need?
