informally produced and disseminated.
Formally produced information are created by professionals
who follow standards in creating, editing, and producing
information. These information are usually produced by
formal organizations such as schools, government and
established media/publishing outlets.

often for personal use. They usually come from personal or
views on different issues, process, etc. Blogs, personal e-
mails, SMS, online messengers and social media platforms

resources are formally and informally produced. These set

websites, e-mails, videos, graphics and among others.
