I’m conducting a survey on using the Web for research…what services do you use to do research? Free stuff like google or yahoo or paid services like Factiva, Lexis-Nexis, etc. All answers will be helpful.

Why is there so much personal information in the news, and so little real news?

Today’s news story:
Pat Summitt files for divorce after 27 years of marriage

Why is this anyone’s business besides the family?
Why isn’t something relevant in its place?

Is it safe to believe the information given to us by the news?

Andrea asked:


The news feeds us tons of information every day, from what is good / bad for you to details about events in other countries. I think a lot of people believe that news stations are credible, and willingly believe anything that is told to them. How should we perceive this information to be able to decide what is true / lies? Is it safe to trust news broadcasts?
