The accuracy of an article is dependent on the contents of the article. Reports by non-knowledgable persons such as news broadcasters is often filled with mistakes due to their lack of knowledge.

In order to determine the validity of an article, one must trace the source of the article back to the orignial publisher and examine their credentials.

For instance, if an article on the sun is published by NASA the article is trustworthy, as they are considered an authority on astrophysics. If the article originates at the blog of one John Everyman, who is a professional ditch digger, the article may be subject to skepticism.
