Valid
Valid information is making sure the information is correct and knowledgeable for the user.
If the information is invalid for the user it would be no use to the reader’s knowledge. A
good example of how you would get valid information in a small business is by using the
business documents such as profit and loss charts, invoices, statements etc. This is all valid
information because you have collected it yourself from within the business so you trust the
source.
Another example of valid information would be information supplied by the BBC News, this
website is always up to date with the latest news getting information from valid sources, and so
many people rely to this website. Furthermore because the BBC own a television licence and
their own TV program people are more likely to trust it which means more website hits so it will
appear further up a search engine.
Another example of getting valid information would be through a trusted source that has a good
reputation. For example the government conducted survey for HM Revenue customers, the
information they collected would be valid because they would ask a wide range of people that
are not biased and show interest in the subject. Furthermore the information was from 2015
which is new so it cannot be out of date in any way.
