Is the internet a trustworthy source of information? Is it as reliable as print?

In most cases, I feel that the internet is a less reliable source of information than print, but it really depends on where you're getting the information from. For example, most books have to go through numerous stages of editing and fact checking before it can get published. The same would go for articles on the internet which are supposed to be reliable, such as information from academic journals, or information from similar organizations on the internet. This way, the internet has a way to verify information similar to the way they have to do it when they're editing and publishing books. 

However, if you simply google a question and go to sites such as Wikipedia or Yahoo, neither of those sites can be verified accurately, the answer you get would just be the most common one, and it may not always be right. Also, there are many sites which may give out the wrong answers, and if they are not edited by other people, there's a likelier chance that the information you read on the internet could be biased.  For example, when I was trying to convince my brother that being a vegan would not affect your health in a negative way, I found articles that were written by fellow vegans, animal activists, and people from organizations such as Peta, which were completely for the subject. However my brother found articles made by dairy industries, food suppliers, and other people commenting on dietary needs. These two sets of article were completely contradicting each other and we didn't really know which one of them would be the most reliable. In contrast, information from print has to be checked by other people to get published, which would give the articles more than one view, and, unless the person/people checking the article has the same purpose, it is less likely the information would be biased based on the writer's outlook. Therefore, Information which is in print is generally more reliable, however information in the internet can also be just as reliable if the source you are getting the information from is reliable and verified.
