Resources could be categorized into different purposes.
Mainly:
- Information
- Advocacy
- Business/Marketing
- News
- Personal
- Entertainment
Resource 1:
Purpose of resource: Business/Marketing
URL: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2006/01/30/namm-latest-music-technology-you-know-for-kids/
Reasons:
I would say that http://createdigitalmusic.com/ is more of a business/marketing purpose because it belongs to a company’s website and is more likely to be introducing its own latest product software product for the 5-11 music set called Groovy Music. Although its product is of an entertainment purpose, the site seems to be focusing more on advertising its own product.
Resource 2:
Purpose of resource: News
URL: http://www.news.com/Teens-and-media-a-full-time-job/2100-1041_3-6141920.html
Reasons:
The site http://www.news.com/ from the URL stated above is more of a news website because it features all the latest news updates in the music downloads available. Similar to a newspaper, it quotes phrases from articles and provides figures such as the estimated percentage of teens spending time downloading and listening to music etc.
Resource 3:
Purpose of resource: Advocacy
URL: http://www.drugfree.org/Parent/Knowing/Why_Teenagers_are_Susceptible_to_Trends
Reasons :
Drugfree.org which can be found from the URL above is a site that is considered more of an advocacy purpose as it is arguing on behalf on a particular issue based on the posted issue. The site is created more to increase participation and to influence public opinions based on certain issues.
Resource 4:
Purpose of resource : Information
URL: http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/166/report_display.asp
Reasons :
The purpose of this website is more on information since it is a write out of a person’s report on a particular topic. It is considered an information purpose site because it is based on research that are existing and it is more informational in terms of content instead of views and comments.
