The site that I decided to use for this blog is CNN.com because it’s a site that I visit regularly for news and other useful information. CNN.com is a journalistic Web site that offers information about politics, sports, world news, and entertainment as well as many other topics. CNN is also a television broadcasting network so some of its video content comes from that.
CNN.com is probably one of the most reputable online resources because it’s updated constantly through out the day. In addition to this all of the stories contained on this site have the dates they were written included at the top and also the dates that they were updated. CNN’s world headquarters, which is in Atlanta, Ga. is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by over 4000 news professionals. More information about who contributes to and runs the site can be found by clicking the about us link at the bottom of the Web page.
I read CNN.com everyday and I have yet to find a typographical error. While I honestly have no idea whether the content of the site is accurate, I have been unable to identify any grammar or spelling mistakes. Credible Web sites will always contain this type of quality in their content. If you visit a site that has a proliferation of mistakes then that’s a clue that the site may not be all that credible.
The appearance of CNN.com is another factor that contributes to its credibility. The Web site is rather plain to look at which is a good thing because it doesn’t try to get you to pay too much attention to too many things at once. It’s not at all confusing. The information is clearly laid out in a manner that is accessible. The site is easy to navigate and there aren’t any tacky, blinking adds jumping out and distracting the viewer from the actual content of the site.
