To find and use information effectively, you first need to know how it is created.
The information timeline helps with this by showing how information about an event or topic develops over time. Understanding this timeline will help you choose the best sources for accurate information. |

WHAT IS THE INFORMATION TIMELINE?
The information timeline, or information cycle, describes how information about an event changes as it moves through different sources.
It can you help you decide the best place to start looking for information. For example, if an event has only just happened, the information will only be available on social media and news outlets. |
