quality

Which is more important when relaying information: quality of the information or quality of the presentation?

When information is not provided in proper sequence and with proper clarity it loses its significance. Only the most analytical and organizational of the audience will still gain the information in a way that will be beneficial to them.

When information is presented in a thorough and engaging way, it gains a large audience. However, because the information lacks solidity, it becomes dangerous. This is the main mindset out of which our culture operates. Information is presented in an engaging way, but only part of the information is given (e.g. Gardasil, Obamacare, Abortion). We have a culture who embraces ideas they know little about simply because the presentation of the information was engaging and the culture feels these things will be beneficial to them.

"Nobody ever became a writer just by wanting to be one. If you have anything to say, anything you feel nobody has ever said before, you have got to feel it so desperately that you will find some way to say it that nobody has ever found before, so that the thing you have to say and the way of saying it blend as one matter-as indissolubly as if they were conceived together." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, in a letter to his daughter
