It covers topics like whether information online is reliable, teaching people how to use the web "intelligently," wikis & Wikipedia, and more. As is usual for the CQ Researcher, the report features an introduction, background, Pro/Con (the question is "Should online sites like YouTube ban postings by groups the government identifies as terrorists?"), nifty graphs (such as one titled "Blog Readers are Less Up-to-Date on News"), and a handy bibliography of books, articles, and reports. You can view the material online or download the 24-page pdf.
It's a great introduction to assessing the accuracy of what's online *and* to this great resource for students.
