Answers to ii Accuracy of Content
The Travel Annual is out of date,
The TV programme tells us about part of the island
The Website tells us about the other coast and confirms that
the east side is busiest with tourists.
However we should check the information
in the website against another information source because we
don't know how reliable they are.
For example if statistics in the "Which Guide to Holidays"
(published by The Consumers' Association, a very reliable organisation)
show that the west of Skipios is heavily polluted, we'll see
why there are so few tourists.

Answers to iii Reliability and Prejudice
1. Is biased because the owner is writing about himself
and praising himself.
2. publicity material intended to praise this comapany's
holidays.
3. Properly published guide, likely to be reliable
because it deals with all the Greek islands. There are two doubts
however - one, the praise is rather over the top and two, it's
nearly 50 years out of date!
4. Informative, probably accurate and reliable. However,
no real description of the place, just statistics.
5. Sounds thoroughly unreliable! Although personal
recommendation can be very good, these people don't even remember
where they were!
Any order will be accepted if 4 is at the top and
5 at the bottom.
