After selecting your topic and reading some background information, I would suggest to look for articles from newspapers and magazines to find out what various news organizations have written about refugee resettlement in general, or a specific group of people. We have national-level sources, as well as regional newspapers. If you are interested in what is being reported in other countries, try the International Newsstream.
How can you find out the reputation of the magazine, newspaper, or organization that published the information? Google the name to see what others are saying. If it is a real news organization, there will be a Wikipedia entry on it.
A very useful tool for a thorough evaluation of over 6,000 news organizations and major think tanks is NewsGuard. It's a subscription service, but if you use the Microsoft Edge browser on your laptop or desktop, you can download the extension for free. See Adding NewsGuard to Web Searches for more information.
Once you have a solid, general knowledge of your topic, you may have specific questions that only experts and researchers would have studied. Then you'll need to find scholarly journal articles. Below are suggested databases.
NewsGuard thoroughly evaluates over 35,000 online news sites. Use Microsoft Edge browser and download the extension for free. (Otherwise it's a subscription service, $4.95/month.) Use it on laptops. (NewsGuard claims it will work on the app version on mobile devices, but it isn't in the settings for Apple iOS.)
Adding NewsGuard to Microsoft Edge
Within Microsoft Edge, click on Microsoft Edge in the toolbar, then Microsoft Edge Extensions. Search newsguard and click to add it.
When you click the Get button, it prompts you to create an account in NewsGuard. Click the Sign In button, top right corner, and either create an account or sign in with an existing Apple, Facebook, or Google account. It will acknowledge that the account when used on Microsoft Edge is free.
Using NewsGuard
Once you have NewsGuard installed, you'll see a blue icon with 0-100% to the results list in Google, or at the top next to the URL when you are on a site that NewsGuard has evaluated. The bigger the percentage, the higher the credibility score. Hover over the icon to bring up a short evaluation of how well it follows journalistic standards. Click on See the full Nutrition Label to view a detailed analysis, with references. (You may also run into a gray icon for platforms like YouTube, or an orange icon for satirical sites like The Onion.)
