Week 5- Meikle A&B

I think that most of what appears on the net is just rumours, and this is the same when it comes to the news. This is because we do not know who is publishing the news, it could be anyone and they will be using a range of sources, from the reliable to the not so. I tend to look at the BBC News online, this is mainly to find out the top stories of the day, the weather and usually the rugby new too. News on the web, I think can be anything, because no one monitors who posts the news or what is said. I think we all choose to believe what we want to believe

I think we find our own news and information, learning from all different things, we read and study.I think we choose what we learn and what we learn from each different text. We can publish our own news and information,on websites such as wikipedia, we can copy from other sources, this means that we are playing both the role of the researcher and the reader and this again in turn creates new kinds of journalists online.
