Research Journal: Digital Media

Digital Media has made getting news and information much quicker than 40 years ago.  Now, we have cell phones, tablets and computers to help us get the news and information quicker.  However, it is what we can do with these devices that help us get the news.  Videos, blogs, websites and even photos help us get information quicker.  However, I believe that digital media will help students and other researchers and professors get factual material.  During my research, I encountered several problems such as finding information that is actual fact.  It sounds easy but it isn’t.  There are some information that can be factual but can also be opinionated.   Websites like wikipedia.  I did have some successful strategies to helping me find factual information such as putting correct keywords.  I do have some questions about my research such as how can I tell if videos and podcasts are factual as well because they can be opinionated just like websites.
