Overall Content:- The purpose of the web page is to educate the reader on the Journalism Program at Columbia University. Used to Advertise? Why yes, yes it is.
-The information on the web page is presumably correct (however, I don't feel like calling the university to grill them on the information on their web page. I'll just take their word for it)
-Although the specific author is not named (as in the creator) it is labeled with Columbia Universities brand, and contains in it extensive contact information.
Compare With Other Resources:
-As this website is hosted by Columbia University, and is about Columbia University, I would speculate that it may be a fairly credible source when it comes to facts.
-You for sure should contemplate a secondary source, just because the web site looks good doesn't mean you should throw tuition money at the all willy nillie.
-It seems to be current and up to date
-It seems to cover the program content fairly well, however it focuses merely on the positive aspects and does not give voice to those who may wish to raise concerns (for painfully obvious reasons)
Author:-Although there is no specific "author", the website does drop several names that can be used to verify it's credibility.
-Well, Columbia is pretty credible and a well known institutuion so it seems to be pretty well set in that aspect...
-Of course there is bias, it is advertising the Journalism program! It WANTS applicants
Check the Links:-The links are utilised mainly to navigate the internal structure of the Columbia website, specifically throughout issues that would concern Journalism students.
