A) The article was written on February 9th, 2016. It has not been updated.
B) The article relates to my topic but discusses the politics of internet security more
than the actual way people go about security.
C) There is no one author credited for the article so the article is not entirely
reliable.
D) The information is accurate because it is written on what actually happened and
it does not speculate. It is also backed by facts and quotes.
E) This article was written to inform readers about a bill in the UK that related to
internet security and hackers but was not passed.
5.
A) The journal article was more difficult to get access to than the internet article. To
find the journal article, I had to go through a database from the CCBC library
website, whereas the internet article came from a common news website BBC.
B) Both articles were written within recently. One was written on the 9 th of February
while the other was written on the 11th. Since they were both written around the
same time, the articles have about the same amount of information available at the
time.
C) The internet article did not have any authors credited but the journal article had
many authors credited.
