Overall,
I think through many of the readings in LIS 201 we have seen that much of the
information out there is not credible or manipulated in certain ways, therefore
it is necessary to be more aware of the information we are consuming. By
following the advice given by Johnson, we can better filter and acquire our
knowledge, so we are no longer left in the dark about what is really going on
in society today.
