Digital literacy and information fluency

Purpose: the purpose of this site and series would be to enlighten people of mermaids and to try and prove all myths wrong. They could also be trying to get more viewers to their page so that even though it could all be a hoax, they would still get publicity out of it and people seeing their site. This could be negative or positive publicity.
Animal planet with compiled amateur footage, including photos and video shot by deep-sea fisherman that never have been shown in the Us as well as cinema-quality CGI, to get some of the photo and videos

The public on the other hand did not respond positively to this since many of the videos and evidence looked photo shopped or edited. This ended up not playing on their side because many people questioned it and didn’t believe it, giving animal planet a bad reputation and name for a while.
The veracity of this series is very questionable since all the video are unclear or from a very far distance making it hard to see if it is real or not which makes it very questionable whether it has been edited or not. I as a person who has watched these videos and seen the evidence believe that none of it is true since there is no concrete evidence.
The success of animal planets campaign, in my opinion is good. They have a lot of followers and believers. They have photos, videos, footages. They update the side whenever they have a new founding so for they are succeeding with their campaign.
