Use a mix of peer-reviewed studies, expert interviews, and reputable news sources to cross-check information.

Why: peer-reviewed research and expert input are more reliable, reputable news can provide context, and cross-checking reduces bias and errors. The other options promote confirmation bias or rely on unverified sources, which weakens credibility.
