Information Content

We discussed in our class how books, magazines, journals and so forth will contain different information. We used the example of 9/11. On that day the best source would have been the news on tv the next day a newspaper in a few weeks or a month, a magazine, a year or two later a book, journal or film. The content you would find in a newspaper may be brief and to the point. Not of all of the information may have been released yet, whereas the content you would find in a book would have been well researched. When looking up information for one’s own topic, this needs to be considered.
