Both information?
Hello,
Is this correct-- Both informal and formal information is needed.
What I am confused about is "information" is uncontable, so how can there by "BOTH informal and formal information"?
And if BOTH is ok, then is the verb "IS" or "ARE"?
Thank you.

Is this correct-- Both informal and formal information is needed. -- Uncountables can be modified: white sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar. -- 'Is' sounds better to me.
