3. Look for articles, references, recommendations by experts, and other credible information written by people about the website or the content creator. For businesses, look for reputation information and reviews from a variety of sources. For content creators, look for biographical data and other sources that are not written by the content creator themselves. High quality news articles and informational articles may be good sources of information for both companies/organizations/entities and content creators. Search for such articles. For example, try [ibm site:en.wikipedia.org] or [<ibm.com= site:en.wikipedia.org]. News articles and informational articles can help you learn about a company and may include information specific to reputation, such as awards and other forms of recognition, or also controversies and issues. Note that some informational articles include a message warning users that there are disagreements on some of the content, or that the content may be outdated. This may be an indication that additional research is necessary. 4. Make sure the information you find is appropriate for judging the reputation of the website or content creator. For example, reputation information for YMYL topics should come from sources that have expertise in the associated YMYL topic.
