Finding High Quality Information

Have you ever found an interesting source, but you weren’t sure whether it qualified as a “good” or “reliable” source of information? This learning module will help you better answer that question.

The Church Handbook indicates, “Members of the Church should seek out and share only credible, reliable, and factual sources of information. They should avoid sources that are speculative or founded on rumor. The guidance of the Holy Ghost, along with careful study, can help members discern between truth and error (see Doctrine and Covenants 11:12; 45:57).” Just because information is readily available or appears credible doesn’t mean that it is correct.

In the October 2022 General Conference, President Nelson said, “The flood of information available at our fingertips, ironically, makes it increasingly difficult to determine what is true” (Russell M Nelson, 2022, What Is True). As President Nelson mentioned, it is not always easy to determine what information is accurate, but with the help of the Holy Ghost, and by using evaluation skills that are covered in this learning module, you will be able to find reliable information.
