Internet Publishing and Blogs

The one main difference between the Internet and other forms of Publishing is that anyone can publish anything. No one edits or checks the accuracy of web pages or Blogs.

Can we rely on the source? Can we trust the information we find in Blogs? How do we know if a blogger is telling the truth or telling lies? Is there a bias?

Please write your ideas in your next blog entry. Look at the current story about the Japanese government inspecting Japanese restaurants overseas. Search the term "Sushi Police" in both Japanese and English. Do you see any differences in the websites?

Paste a link to one website in your blog. ( see example below )
