This piece, written by Michael Bodey in 2010, is an article published in The Australian news paper. The readers of 'The Australian' (the audience)are presented immediately with a general statement of Finney's importance to the film industry. From a factual perspective, Bodey offers information regarding to Finney's career and his influence on the industry especially when it comes to his effectiveness in advertising campaigns.
By progressively going through Finney's career path, it becomes clear as to his constant rise in the industry which can, as Bodey points out, be attributed to his talent and expertise. This is particularly valuable to discussions in my field as it, among much other research, paints a picture of Allan Finney's distribution ability and 'knack' for successful films.
There are limitations to this piece. The article is only short and whilst it is very concise, there could be much more content into the life and career of Finney. It is simple and comprehensive yet there is only one first hand account or interview to add extra credibility to his piece. (Bodey quotes the managing director of Walt Disney Australia in one section).
The source can be considered reliable as it was published in The Australian, a reputable local newspaper.It adopts a very logical and factual approach however it might be said that more research could have been done. This piece is not necessarily bias, as much of the information is factually, however it is important to note that the article is in relation to Alan Finney's retirement and whilst his career was very influential and positive, the author may have made a conscious decision to withhold any negatives or setbacks Finney may have encountered.
