The Newsweek eZine is a digital magazine. It has articles and pictures where the blog has stories posted each day, they are more up to date than a magazine. The blog has up to date events. The first is about a shooting at a Delaware school last Friday. The Magazine is full of new from the past month. I think that the magazine is more professional because of its set up and credibility. Yet the blog was much easier to find. I preferred reading the blog because it was all set in front of me and split into dates, which gave a more accurate time frame. I still feel that a print magazine is more creditable than anything online because you know those are legitimate since anyone can get online and make fake news look like real news.I would give this form of internet information a 4 on supporting my thesis because it showed me what could be posted in a fake blog or news story that is not creditable. This just goes to show that blogging has greatly affected print journalism.

I agree, a lot of blogs have information that is not true. Newspapers and magazines are more reliable.

I agree, the E-zines are more professional and credible. I had a difficult time finding an e-zine, and also thought that blogs are much easier to find. To me, print magazines and newspapers are more credible than e-zines or blogs; and I agree with you that anyone can go online and make "fake news".
