You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.

My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page
< http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en > and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.

Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

In order to find resources for your research on how media affects stocks to go up and down, there are a few steps you can take.

1. Start by conducting a search on the internet using search engines like Google. Use specific search terms such as "how media affects stock market" or "impact of media on stock prices". This will help you find relevant articles, studies, and news reports on the subject.

2. Utilize advanced search techniques on search engines to refine your results. For example, you can use quotation marks to search for exact phrases, use boolean operators like AND/OR to combine search terms, or specify a specific time frame for the search results.

3. Visit reputable financial news websites such as Bloomberg, CNBC, or Financial Times. These websites often cover news and analysis related to stocks and their movements influenced by media coverage.

4. Access academic databases and research platforms provided by your school or local library. These resources may contain scholarly articles, research papers, and studies conducted on the topic of media influence on stocks. Consult with a reference librarian who can guide you in using these resources effectively.

5. Consider reaching out to a financial expert or consultant who specializes in stocks and market manipulation. They may be able to provide insights and additional resources for your research.

Remember to critically evaluate the sources you find by checking the credibility, relevance, and objectivity of the information presented. Academic journals, reputable news outlets, and expert opinions are generally more reliable sources of information.
