This week our assignment was to find a website that is trustworthy and other one that is untrustworthy. These websites are of course related to our blog's theme which is movies and TV shows. Web pages that are untrustworthy often do not have a professional appearance, they have too much information, the quality of the text is low and they lack sources. These websites are often easy to recognize by their appearance and content.
The trustworthy website we chose to use was IMDb.com. This site is a source for movie, TV and celebrity content. Here are five arguments for why this website is trustworthy.
1) IMDb has a professional appearance on their website.
2) The website is easy to use and the information is logically structured.
3) IMDb states on their website that they verify their information with filmmakers and studios. IMDb's data also goes through consistency check before it is published.
4) There are lots of information about IMDb on their site.
5) IMDb is very famous among its users and it is active in social media.
The untrustworthy website we are using in this assignment is called Movie-blogger.com. It is a website where people can publish their own movie reviews, write their own blogs and so on. Here are five arguments for why we found this website untrustworthy.
1) The website has lot of information but it is not easy to navigate and the front page has too many links.
2) The website doesn't offer much information about the operators or who founded the site.
3) Most of Movie-blogger.com's information comes from anonymous people writing their reviews and blogs.
4) Because the language isn't checked, there are some grammar mistakes.
5) The content isn't very reliable since there are reviews and blogs that mostly contain people's opinions.
