Google’s Eric Schmidt strongly suggested people to protect privacy while Facebook introduced new feature that shares location of users. The controversial issue was fully and concisely described by SMH on 17 August and Courier Mail on 21 August.
Started with the information of “change your name”, the article first writes Schmidt’s comment on public concern of privacy issue. Followed by presenting direct quotes of Schmidt that young people may change their name on social media sites to protect privacy. Then the article presents the “creepy” research facts conducted by Google to warn the teenage of noticing privacy issue with very detailed information, including various social applications and occupations. Finally, other references are cited to show the danger of posting personal files or submitting personal locations.
The article is clarity, clear and well structured, which deserves high recommendation although it is a little long. Latest comments on this issue can be found on the left category.
Another article on Courier Mail emphasizes on the negative results and effects of information sharing. Also, its angle is different from the one on SMH that changing names is not good way in terms of legal and social responsibility.
Similarly, sufficient quotes and references are cited. Besides interviewing several experts of University, there are also hyperlinks in the content, and other related video news recommended on the page while the one on SMH is lack of related video links. Yet, with all hyperlinks and other related news for readers to follow, I still rate the one on SMH a little bit higher because the news angle is interesting and it presents in a logical way which is easy to follow and perceive compared with another one.
