KarakterløftetNews, Sources and Critical Reading
Learn to compare sources on the same story, judge their reliability, and use them honestly in your own texts – the skills the curriculum calls critical and accountable source use.
What do you want to do now?
Just enough theory to use it
Two competence aims meet here: compare factual texts about the same topic from different sources and critically assess how reliable the sources are, and use sources in a critical, appropriate and accountable way. The core skill is asking the right questions of any text: who made it, why, when, and what do other sources say? Bias is not a scandal – every source has a perspective – but hidden bias and disinformation are. When you then use sources in your own writing, the rules are simple: quote exactly, paraphrase honestly, and always cite so the reader can check. Getting this wrong is not just sloppy – it is plagiarism.
