1. Information is said to be reliable if it can be verified and evaluated. Others refer to the trustworthiness of
the source in evaluating the reliability of information.
2. Reliability, accuracy, and value of information may vary based on the time it was produced or acquired.
While a piece of information may have been found accurate, reliable, and valuable during the time it was
produced, it may become irrelevant and inaccurate with the passing of time (thus making it less valuable).
Other information may be timeless, proven to be the same in reliability, accuracy, and value throughout
history.

7. A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of
interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols
8. People engaged in the process of creating and putting together media content to make a finished media
product.
9. Accuracy refers to the closeness of the report to the actual data. Measurement of accuracy varies,
depending on the type of information being evaluated. Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is
similar to the actual data. Financial information is considered accurate if the values are correct, properly
classified, and presented.
