http://www.alienabductions.com/

Alien Abductions Incorporated web site ( http://www.alienabductions.com/ ) is a page that provides alien abduction experiences. The main missions are presented on the front page.

(Authority) The author of the page is Alien Abductions Inc. There are clear instructions on how to contact the authority and who is responsible for which section of the product . Under every name there is a phone number and an e-mail address. The material is protected by copyright and the name of the copyright holder is Alien Abduction Inc. However the copyright has expired( not on the front page however??) which is kind of suspicious…

(Accuracy) The information listed on the page can not be verified in another source which gives the impression that someone could have just made everything up. The are no typographical, grammatical or spelling errors. There’s no mention of who would be responsible for the writings and no graphs or charts.

(Objectivity) The information is not provided as a public service. There are no advertisements!

(Currency) There are no dates of any kind except for the expired copyright (1997-2007) and the copyright on the front page (1997-2010) which gives the expression that the whole page is expired and not kept current except for the front page.

(Coverage) The page seems complete and it looks professional. I guess that’s why the copyright is current only on the front page to make the page look better.

http://www.parishiltononline.net/
Parishiltononline web site (http://www.parishiltononline.net/) is a page which purpose is to give information, pictures and news about Paris Hilton.

There is no clear information about the authors of the page. There is a part where the visitors can contact, but there is no email addresses or anything else. On the web site is also a part where is said that all the things are copyrighted, but there is no reliable copyrights told.

The web site is more focused to pictures than reliable information and there is a lot of links. And also the site is kind of messy and hard to read.
I think that the site’s only positive side is currency. There are exact dates and the news is current and gives correct links to different sites.

If I want to get some information about Paris Hilton, I wouldn’t check it from this page. It’s so prejudiced and all the news about her is positive.

http://robertpattinson.org/

Robert Pattinson website (http://robertpattinson.org/) is a page that gives you information about the young British actor.



Authority:
The layout of the page seems professional and well organised but at the same time very blog like. On the top of the page there is a small introduction of the website which tells the reader that the page was the first and the largest fan site dedicated to the actor. Also the site statistics are provided clearly on the bottom of the page. There you can find for example the owners of the page and the date when it was founded. Next to the statistics there is a short text that notifies readers that the page owner is not Robert Pattinson and that they also do not claim copyright on any images used in graphics, media or in the gallery.


Accuracy:
The text on the fan site has no errors or “typos”. The sources for the clips on the front page are all dated and easily show their true origin. The dates also show the pages currency giving the reader a feeling that it is thrust worthy.


Objectivity:
Although the page seems to be very professional etc it provides no contact information. The page also has a lot of ads which makes it look a bit shady.

http://www.ettala.com/

From Eero Ettala with love web site (http://www.ettala.com/) is a site which tells you about snowboarder Eero Ettala. In front page you can see some videos about Ettala and it somehow provides the right information about the snowboarder.

(Authory) There is lot of information about Eero Ettala. There are also many videos to watch and I think which are reliable. There a biography about Ettala which is also reliable, because I think it’s stupid to put some wrong information about the main person to the internet. And it’s easy to find the original pages of links because Ettala’s sponsors are huge corporations and I think it’s reliable. Ettala also keeps his own blog and you can see it in the front page and you can find the blog on the right side of the page. There is date and time when he is written down the blog writings. There is also some pictures of Eero.

(Accuracy) The language in the page is spoken language. And Eero writes so easily way that everybody can read it. So everything that he is written seems reliable.

(Currency) There are many dates given. The blog have dates and also videos have dates in videos links. There is the right mention when Eero has created. You can add some comments to Ettalas blog and blog writings.

(Objectivity) There is much contact information that is given to the Ettalas own website. There are several sponsor links ranging from for example Red Bull, Oakley, Nitro, White Moment etc. I think that the site is reliable.

All in all I trust to this page and trust that it’s reliable.

Justus' Media Diary


I use or read about every day the internet or some other channels which are connected with media. Sometimes I just read trough the paper and search some interesting news or sport news.

Wednesday: When I go home from job I read Metro in bus. There was not so big news. When I get home I read some other news from the internet Ilta-Sanomat and Helsingin Sanomat pages.

Thursday I used computer about 2 hours at night. I was in facebook so I did not use the internet necessarily so well.

Friday I read Ilta-Sanomat and there were so many titles which tell about the volcanic eruption.

Saturday I use the internet whole day spending the hours in facebook and many other sites. I was so tired that I didn’t do anything else.

Sunday I do some geography work which includes the earth risks and I must search some news that attach volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and some other natural risks.

There were no surprises on my media using. It was a normal week for me. Sometimes I use much more media, but it depends.

I don’t use much television and I don’t play any internet games because I have Xbox360 console, but actually I can compare using of spending newspapers or internet. It depends on what day is it because usually I read Metro in bus every day but if I’m tired in mornings or I just don’t want to read any papers it certainly get off my daily information access.

Sometimes my father brings Ilta-Sanomat when he comes from work and I usually read it if I’m willing to know what is happening.

Using internet or television is very daily and important to me that I would say that my using is primarily to get informed about everything.

Does ads really got a good appearance

Usually when you see some advertisement of clothes you probably see very thin and beautiful girl in a picture. And that’s not all! Usually the advertisement girl is half a naked, because that clothes would sell better. And the girl at the picture look like that she’s face is so packed with makeup so she would not be able to move her eyes or mouth, so crazy! And even better, the salesman and other people thought that the advertisement would sell better! I think that the right way to buy or just check the clothes is that you go to some shop and don’t even look any ads where the brand is advertising their clothes. And I think that other women is jealous and got the feeling that they must be the same that the girl in the ad! And if you don’t look same the clothes won’t suit you! So in women opinion I wouldn’t buy clothes that are in advertisements.

I think that advertisers should really think what they are putting in the ads and what kind of effects the ads possibly have! And also the teenager’s girls are so easy to get hooked on to the clothes on ads. And who would like to look that thin and full of makeup? The models in ads are so thin that you wouldn’t even recognize them if you just look quickly the ad. Teenager girls are just that kind of mass group that they think that the most important thing is look like the same on the ad and look like the most beautiful. The meaning of life can change when a little girl grown up to next level, teenager. When you’re little you would not be interested about makeup and clothes and its just waste of time to think what are you going to put on you. And when teenager grows, she possibly realizes what the meaning of life is.

I think that the ads don’t have good appearance to women and girls, because they just want to look like the girl in the ad. Also it’s creating men to think that all women are looking like same that in the ads and they just keep talking about that.

Ads gone bad

If you ask someone to descirbe a clothes advertisment they'll probably tell you that there's a thin tall girl on it wearing clothes that show off her breasts and her behind and her face so stuffed with makeup she looks like a doll. It seems that the brand thinks that the thinner and the prettier the girl on the ad is, the better the clothes are gonna sell.The truth is the effect is exactly the opposite. You get the feeling that you have to be as beautiful and thin as the girl on the ad to be able to look good in those clothes. Then you feel, that because you're not like the girl on the ad you're not good enough which makes you depressed and you don't want to buy any clothes because in your opinnion they all look terrible!

It's crazy that anyone would like to look like the models on the ads anyway. They're so thin it makes you want to force them to eat something so they'd gain a little weight. No one would probably even notice if there was a teenage boy wearing a little makeup and girls clothes in stead of an actual model. And I'm not even exaggerating it. Advertisers should really think about the messages they're relaying and what effect they have on people, young girls especially. Young women are the most vulnerable of all age groups because they think that the most important thing in life is to look good, good meaning thin and beautiful. Little girls don't care what they look like most of the time because they're busy catching butterflies and wearing pink clothes. Older women know who they are and realize there's more to life than your looks.

The ads don't only affect women and girls beliefs of how they should look like. It also makes men and boys think that women should look like the girls on the ads. No wonder men and boys seem to be interrested in only the girls who look like straws. They think it's not somehow acceptable to like someone who is a bit heavy or curvy and the women only reinforce that belief by accepting the fact that men and boys can evaluate you by your looks.
