A good example of why you may want to check publishing information is illustrated by this web site: www.martinlutherking.org. This web address looks innocent enough, but the information on the site itself is definitely not. We have had many teachers tell us their students have brought it to their attention when researching Martin Luther King Jr. Be forewarned the site contains racist and inappropriate content.
But who has published this site and how do we find out? If you are ever unsure about the information on a web page and want to know who owns the site or has published the material, go to www.easywhois.com.
