Module 3

This Ezine reports business news, specializing in the stock market. This additions talks about how the PTC's revenues are below the projections and how the share prices have dropped by
%20. The news blog reported on recent tends in Mormonism, and how they are keeping their traditions important without living in the past.

I felt that the blog was more professional that the Ezine, the blog almost seemed like a full blown news website and the Ezine looked more low budget. The Blog was also easier to find on the Internet, the Ezine was actually a little trouble to find. The Blog again was easier to read, the writing for the Ezine was of poor quality. It would be hard to compare the two in terms of content because the two covered different news topics, the Ezine was business, and the Blog was religion. I felt that they were both credibly but I have no way of checking their validity. I actually would be more inclined to believe a print copy because print copies have more gatekeepers and for me that generally means more trustworthy.

Overall the material that I found did not support my thesis, I found this particular Blog to be a great news source and I rate it as a 2.
