Overall Content:

The purpose of the webpage is to inform the public as well as journalists how to properly search for a person/topic online. The information is factual due to the fact that it comes from a professional journalist. There is no product being sold, or organization being advertised.


The information is complete, the author is named, and his qualifications are as follows- Julian Sher is an award-winning investigative journalist in print, TV, radio, and on the Web, yet that doesn't stop him from not editing her work throughly: "Now imagine you tried to the same searches 20 years ago before he web existed." We found this grammatical error in his blog entry.


The intended audience is for any and all internet users, specifically journalists or writers or investigators.


Compare With Other Resources:


This blog entry is non-specific, but it is relative to online and it is online. Information concerning Internet usage should originate from online sources for convienience. You would not necessarily have to go through another source to verify Sher's information as he is a professional and he has working links to all of the websites that aid in an Internet search for your convenience.


Sher's blog was published on July 29, 2009. Historical materials are not necessary, though current sites and social networking links help ensure accuracy and timeliness.

Julian Sher is the creator and webmaster of JournalismNet, and is an award-winning documentary TV producer. He has written five books. He is also an Internet trainer and consultant for top media clients around the globe. As stated above, Julian Sher is an award-winning investigative journalist using many mediums.
