Information Cycle
Okay, but Why Do I Need to Know About This?
Knowing how information cycles through our world can tell you a lot. Mainly, it can give you an idea of what sources you'll find when looking up a topic. For example, when there's a newsbreaking story, there's little information to go on. However, as time goes on, more is added as information is available.
For a topic or concept that's new, there may not be many peer-reviewed sources. Academic journals take longer to publish articles, and books take even longer. Therefore, you may only find news artcles.
