| Reliable/ useable source? Yes/no/maybe |
Why/ Why not? | |
| www.gamesradar.com/ | Maybe | This is a site for gamers, so they probably give only a single perspective. I might be able to use the information, but I’d need to check it against other sources for accuracy. |
| Book : “Violence on the screen” by Clive Gifford | Yes | Books are generally reliable and well researched. I need to check its publication date, though, as information can go out of date quite quickly |
| www.jesus-is-savior.com | No | The strong emotive language ( “evil”, “immoral”…) is a clear sign of bias, and the site’s name suggests a very one-sided religious view. |
| www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/04/video-games.aspx | Yes | The .org is a trustworthy domain name, so the information should be based on research and therefore reliable. |
| http://copycateffect.blogspot.com | No | The fact that it is a blog suggests that it is likely to be unreliable, because it is just an individual’s opinion rather than an expert’s opinion. |
