Paragraph 7

For example, suppose a student reads an article on a popular online news site about the health of a population of people.

Having come across some statistics about the number of people who are hospitalized due to poor diet, she can employ the lateral reading strategy by simply opening up another tab in her browser and accessing different sources to verify the numbers.

In fact, she can open up as many new tabs as she wants to verify any type of information being presented, such as statistics in charts and tables, or general assertions.

She can look up information from other popular news sites or go directly to a scientific journal article to read from the primary source of information.
