| 5.10.10 09.10.10 11.10.10 | Started collecting my 18 sources and checking they are reliable. | http://www.uswitch.com/digital-tv/catch-up-tv-on-demand/ - what is TV on demand? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/dec/18/tv-advertising-survive-on-demand - advertising will survive OCR Media studies for A2 third edition – 2009 (book) Hodder Education Julian McDougall Pages 97/97 http://browse.guardian.co.uk/search/all/Media/Television+industry?lDim=N%3D4294926105&search=TV+on+demand&search _target=%2Fsearch%2FTelevision%2B%26%2Bradio&N=3375&fr=cb-guardian – Audio research http://books.google.com/books?id=Wnta_vrUWLoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=video+on+demand&hl=en&ei=tKisTLaGA8nNswbQ1aW4BA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEgQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q&f=false – (book) video on demand – television for a new millenium. By: Kristoph kotch http://allyours.virginmedia.com/sites/video-on-demand/# - advertises the advantages of tv on demand but may not be useful for my research. http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_RO/ro/insights/deloitte-research/9c3b5a1264001210VgnVCM100000ba42f00aRCRD.htm - about advertising | Came up as a hit on google. I Simply typed in the media guardian website. Tells me benefits of TV on demand. Found through an ‘ask’ search. Found through a link at the bottom of a guardian page. Found by reading through the index of 3 books. This was the only one with relevant information. Found through a google search. Found through a Bing search. I wrote about this site on my blog Our teacher introduced this site to us Looked up related topics on Google books to get suggestions on books to find. From an advert link, advertising Virgin. After trying different Wikipedia searches, I found this one was relevant. Found through a Google search. Must be registered Found through a Bing search. Through a Google search I visited the Media Guardian site. | Claims to be ‘free and impartial’ But we can never be sure this is the whole truth. ‘The most important currency of the Guardian is trust. This is as true today as when CP Scott marked the centenary of the founding of the paper with his famous essay on journalism in 1921.’ This leads me to believe the site is unbiased. This is a sales site so it is unlikely the information will be objective. This is frustrating because I do not want biased information in my research. After reading the article I found it was unreliable because it is out of date. (2008) Article written in 2007. Out of date but could be useful if I wanted to compare the situation now with four years ago. It does not work in their favour to be bias. I would need to back up this information with other sources because Wikipedia can be unreliable. Virgin is going to have a bias representation of the TV industry as they will try and promote themselves. I would need to back up this information with other sources because Wikipedia can be unreliable. Includes valid information about the evolution of TV on demand. Written well. Blocked on the school computer system and needs regestration. Not useful and has little information on my topic. This website claims ‘MarketResearch.com is the world's largest and continuously updated collection of market research’ Written last year and does not go into enough depth on my chosen topic. Not useful An up to date article from a website I trust due to previous experien |
