Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture

Well trusting on the web put a bit more of the unbelievable side, as newspaper is hard to believe nowadays, I would have to say no, not to believe. If we were to take true information is by going to whom or wherever we want to investigate, even so we will most probably get 50% or less information that is true. Because the web is to me considered less believable is that because anyone can edit it. A way to solve this problem is by taking a bit of info from this site and compare it with other websites to see whether the information matches or not. Websites like 'Wikipedia' is one of the least trusting sites because anyone can edit it, but because the editor USUALLY leaves their source of information and that it is controlled by a group of people who would stop from false information, it is a bit trusting. Though we trust them 100 or even 50% that the information written down is true, at least we get some information on what are we're studying on and besides, we check if that info is true or not by asking others or do research on books officially for that certain someone or something that we're studying on. I know one thing, nowadays it's hard to know the truth even in local newspaper, the only way is by comparison with multiple sources, and the truth will bound to show up.
