When Mike Scott, a singer read the page about himself on Wikipedia.com, he noticed several facts were wrong. So he started correcting them online. When he got to the end of the page, he looked up and saw that the information at the top of the page was changing back again. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He wrote about it in his blog and minutes later, he got a message from a complete stranger. The person explained that he was a big fan of Mike Scott and maintained the Mike Scott Wikipedia page. He checked the page regularly and if any facts changed, he immediately changed them back.
Today anyone can write a blog or an article online. Wikipedia, where anyone can post or change an entry, has become a popular way to do research. But is it a good place to get reliable facts? In recent years, many people, like Mike Scott, have found that their online biographies contain inaccurate information. Terry Millstone, a web-based journalist, says “Wikipedia seems like a really great idea but actually it’s quite a dangerous website. People call this the great internet age, but there’s never been a worse time to get accurate information. “People criticize Wikipedia because they’re afraid of it. There’s no other source of information which is so up-to-date and free.”
So, is it a better idea to place our trust in what we read in magazines, newspapers and books? There have been a number of scandals in the publishing world over the years, but one of the most extreme was the story of Stephen Glass. At only 25, he was a celebrated journalist working for the highly respected US political magazine, The New Republic. All that ended in May 1998 when it was discovered that one of Glass’ s biggest articles was fake. Later, it was found that Glass has made up facts in 27 of the 41 articles he wrote for the magazine.
So, how do we know what to believe? Words have always had the power to influence people and rightly or wrongly, we tend to trust the printed word. But with the rise of the Internet, that trust is at greater risk than ever.
