Source table....but not in a table.

The information below was previously in a table. each of the links represents a site which I have found to use in my research. below the links (or book titles)  is information about how i found them and how reliable they are. 29.9.10

Change of topic. Started secondary research again.
http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.1258   
 Through google

In their ‘about us section they have a paragraph on the importance of the quality of their research beginning ‘Research is integral to Thinkbox…’ 5.10.10

 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?

Came up as a hit on google.

Claims to be ‘free and impartial’ But we can never be sure this is the whole truth.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/dec/18/tv-advertising-survive-on-demand - advertising will survive

I Simply typed in the media guardian website.

‘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.

http://www.channel4sales.com/advertising/video_on_demand -

Tells me benefits of TV on demand. Found through an ‘ask’ search.

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.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2010/feb/22/online-tv-seesaw-benefits

Found through a link at the bottom of a guardian page.

OCR Media studies for A2  third edition – 2009 (book) Hodder Education Julian McDougall Pages 97/97

 

Found by reading through the index of 3 books. This was the only one with relevant information.

http://www.nma.co.uk/opinion/web-tv-success-shows-way-ahead-for-regular-tv-funding/39274.article  

Found through a google search.

After reading the article I found it was unreliable because it is out of date.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 Out of date but could be useful if I wanted to compare the situation now with four years ago.

I wrote about this site on my blog

http://www.barb.co.uk/

Our teacher introduced this site to us  

It does not work in their favour to be bias.

  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_on_demand

I would need to back up this information with other sources because Wikipedia can be unreliable.

Looked up related topics on Google books to get suggestions on books to find.

http://allyours.virginmedia.com/sites/video-on-demand/# - advertises the advantages of tv on demand but may not be useful for my research

From an advert link, advertising Virgin.

Virgin is going to have a bias representation of the TV industry as they will try and promote themselves.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_television

After trying different Wikipedia searches, I found this one was relevant.
