## Web Credibility

**Article:** [6 Arrested for 'HOLLYBOOB' Change...Breast Stunt Ever?](https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/01/hollywood-sign-altered-hollyboob-breast-cancer-awareness-julia-rose-arrested/) via TMZ

TMZ is known for being hot garbage, and we can use some of Berkeley Library's criteria for evaluating resources to see exactly why. First, let's examine the authority: the article I linked does not have a specific author named, so we can credit the page to the publication itself. TMZ is a tabloid journalism online newspaper, meaning they publish sensationalist news that is meant to get a reaction out of its readers. Its purpose isn't to be professional or educational. TMZ has been under fire many times for using paparazzi photos and for inappropriately covering sensitive stories (for example, reporting on Kobe Bryant's death before his family had been informed).

The title of this article also demonstrates how TMZ uses misleading clickbait titles. According to Joyce Valenza's 2016 blogpost "Truth, truthiness, triangulation: A news literacy toolkit for a post-truth world", intentionally deceptive headings are just one form of fake news. The title makes it seem like the women mentioned pulled a wildly inappropriate stunt by flashing their breasts in public, but in reality, they simply changed the Hollywood Sign to raise awareness for breast cancer. The framing of the article paints the women in a negative light, when they really weren't doing anything that outrageous. You could even interpret the article as being misogynistic, which would align with the misogyny accusations against TMZ's workplace environment.

## Wikipedia Evaluation

**Wikipedia Article:** [Joseph M. Reagle Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Reagle&oldid=620740325)

According to Wikipedia, all information found on Wikipedia pages must be "verifiable." In other words, it must come from a reliable source and should be cited in the article.

This outdated version of Professor Reagle's Wikipedia page states that he worked at the World Wide Web Consortium and that his book Good Faith Collaboration was bestselling. While the first statement is properly cited and thus verifiable, the second statement is not. There is no evidence provided that shows the book was bestselling, so unless a reputable source can be found proving it, this claim should be removed. I would also suggest adding basic bio information to the page, such as date of birth and college education.

According to the page history, the article was first created on August 1, 2011.
