All different news websites etc. cover a range of news and focus on what their target audience would like so ok magazine for example focus on gossip as their mode of address is peer to peer they use informal language.

Secondary Research Researching the internet Newspapers/ Magazines Taking information from other webpages Books/ Journals- language barriers State research papers(government stats)- manipulated TV documentaries/films Social media- existing comments biased Advantages of using the internet to access research is that its free and quicker to access, however a weakness is that it could be false information. An advantage of using newspapers and magazines to collect secondary  research is that its easy to find, however a disadvantage is that its not always a trustworthy source depending on what company it is so could be biased. TV documentaries are good for accessing information because usually its always true as the facts and figures cant be changed like they can on the internet, however a disadvantage is that it could be less credable and it is made to make money
