Assignment 2

The title of the Wikipedia page is Podcast. The URL page  can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast. This article discusses the mechanics of podcasting, receiving and using podcast and gives other uses for podcast. The articles original date is October 26 20004 and there are over 500 contributors to this particular article. The reason I chose this article is because if the power of podcasting, being that it is so accessible and simple to create and receive podcast. Upon review of the resources that were provided on the page, I found the article to be creditable enough to use as a resource, but taking a closer look in the discussion page I found the article to be controversial in content that has been removed and added. It seems a man by the name Adam Curry had anonymously edited the podcasting entry on Wikipedia to remove credits from other people and to inflate his role in its creation. Another editor to the Wikipedia podcast page had complained about getting his content removed. He had explained to have found a spectacular way of listening to podcast, but later removed for no reason to be explained.The artilce that I found using proquest was “Podcasting 101,” written in the magazine Strings. This article is very up to date and explains the mechanics of podcasting and its uses, similar to the Wiki article. I found this article to be less creditable than the Wiki article, not only because this article only contained one author, but the content was not as informative on the subject of the mechanics and uses of podcasts. I found the use of multaple authors with the abiltiy to edit, delete and control the content that is published to be much more creditable. References: Podcast, (2008) In Wikipedia: The Free Online Encyclopedia.
