Evaluation of Secondary Resources


IMDB 


Ø  This is “the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content”, though this is according to the site itself

Ø  Simply because it is so popular that means a large audience rely on it make the information fairly reliable.

Ø  The validity of this site to me is very high because there is a large amount of both quantitative in terms of BOX office figures and such

Ø  Qualitative in terms of comments from the audience on movies and interviews with actors, directors and such people


The Guardian


Ø  This is the site for one of Britain’s national newspaper which makes it highly reliable due to several things as follows.

Ø  A large audience means a lot of people place their trust in it so misinformation could be deadly to the company.

Ø  It’s also regularly updated so the information is always current.

Ø  It is not as valid as the IMDB because it is a newspaper website therefore is based around general news not just media related information.
