## Web Credibility
Joyce Valenza discussed the detriment of today's youth lacking the skills to differentiate media garbage from useful information. The term "media garbage" refers to sites that spread disinformation online.

An example of this is [LifeSiteNews](https://www.lifesitenews.com), specifically a recently published article titled, "[StemExpress CEO admits selling beating baby hearts, intact baby heads in Daleiden hearing"](https://archive.is/6wuah). It only took some light [research](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/testimony-biotech-company/) to discover that this headline is inherently false. Granted, it is not hard to understand why the site would be attracted to this headline without doing an indepth fact check; LifeSiteNews leans heavily toward the [right](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/life-site-news/) in terms of the media that they choose to cover. Furthermore, conservative values have always involved the desire to dismantle Planned Parenthood, and this headline seems to veer toward that goal, despite the lack of factual evidence behind it. This article is a perfect example of journalists ignoring what Valenza references as the first guiding principle of Journalists' Code of Ethics: *seek truth and report it*. The article also violates one of the six criteria listed by [Northern Michigan University](https://lib.nmu.edu/help/resource-guides/subject-guide/evaluating-internet-sources): Coverage. There are no outside sources applied to the topic that might imply that it is valid or truthful. The only evidence the article lists are quotes that could have been warped and manipulated by the time they got back to the journalist, and the article fails to mention from where the alleged quotes were acquired.

## Wikipedia Evaluation

The claim that Joseph Reagle works at the World Wide Web Consortium is verifiable because it is linked to a source. The claim that *Good Faith Collaboration* by Joseph Reagle is a best-seller, however, is not linked to a reliable source that backs it up. Therefore, the claim could be false.

I would suggest that an outward source supporting that *Good Faith Collaboration* is a best-selling book be provided in the article. I would also suggest that a link involving Joseph Reagle's personal contribution to or role in the World Wide Web Consortium be provided.

###### *The Joseph M. Reagle Jr. wikipedia article was first created on August 1, 2011*
