Another letter to the editor published in “The Writer” magazine. It’s worth saying again, so here it is.

I believe the February Dear Writer column, which discusses the reliability of information on the Internet, leaves a faulty impression in readers’ minds.

I disagree that organization (.org) sites, among others, are always “trustworthy sources.” These domains are available to anyone with $10 to spend.

The column also implies that education (.edu) sites do not promote “a bias or a cause.” Consider these examples: Liberty University and Oral Roberts University are both .edu domains, but I doubt Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts (both chancellors of the respective schools) can be counted on to provide unbiased opinions.

My point is this: Beware of everything on the Web. Everyone has an agenda or goal (good or bad) to promote. Use common sense when reading anything out there in cyberspace.
