In other words, the website reports newsworthy and marginally newsworthy stories, but if the reader is a discerning individual who likes to make up his/her own mind, it would be wise to consult other sources to validate the stories first. Using misleading, emotionally charged, headlines that fall short of alignment to the content of an article is also common (Remember the guidelines for writers: “We write the headlines for you). Readers of the Conservative Tribune need to understand they are not going to read anything on the Conservative Tribune website that may be damaging to the conservative cause. Articles are “ultra-conservative”

I would informally like to introduce myself as your average concerned American citizen. As an editor, I am sure you receive letters often from citizens about their opinion of the many issues or events that have been reported. Often times, in regards to news or any important information; it is hard to determine which is true and which is false because of the source of information. For example, reading the newspaper versus watching the news on television, which is more believable? The news is the most common source of information in the community in regards to crime and other disturbances. It gives the viewer more insight and detail on the issue because; it is usually being presented at the time of occurrence. However, in contrast, the newspaper seems to have its own version.

As a college student, I found that being able to identify the credible or non-credible sources is very important for the any research projects or any college level assignments. As a result of my research on one single word “DIET” I found 672,000,000 items on the first page where I found at least one credible or trustful source and one non-credible sources or non-factual source. Here I have a web link from New York Times with information on diet: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/opinion/sunday/why-you-cant-lose-weight-on-a-diet.html. I believe this a reliable/credible source for research information because it’s reputation as a daily newspaper company for more than 162 years. Furthermore, a great neuroscientist and science writer Sandra Aamodt,

History is a repetition of events: war after war, economic crisis after economic crisis, technology outdoing itself as we speak. A line of events that for centuries have been reported by the world’s oldest storytellers: journalists. Yet, the future of journalism itself has never been as uncertain and unpredictable as it has been in the past decade and the role of ‘gatekeepers’ of news has never been more precarious.

Steven Wallace is one of the most respected poets in America. Through his progression, he had full determination to become successful writer. He was a philosopher of aesthetics, vigorously exploring the notion of poetry. From his extreme technical and thematic complexity of his work, employing extraordinary vocabulary, and rigorous precision of crafting poems, Stevens was considered a willfully difficult poet. He was acknowledged as eminent abstractionist and a provocative think. His reputation lives on since his death.

In the 20th century, news are predominantly found just about anywhere; through papers, ads, television channels, phones, etc. With the vast amount of news sources we are exposed to today, it is crucial to be able to justify which source is credible and which one is not. One news source in particular, the Wall Street Journal, is deemed to be unreliable attributable to its failure on meeting several criterias; providing all sides of a story, obtaining unbiased stance, and finally providing straight news or just plain commentary.

After reading Gillmor’s article I felt that his recommendations were helpful. When I first started to read the article I could relate with the Media Consumption section. On a daily basis I consume a tremendous amount of media through Facebook, Twitter, news channels, and many other programs and sites. Obviously, through my consumption of media on applications like Facebook, I tend to consume more fake news than actual credible media. This news sometimes looks real and I fully believe it is real, until I do further research. I thought it was helpful for him to state that people should be skeptical of what they are reading, but not to put the same skepticism on everything that is read. People should look for credibility in the information that

Most students have written their fair share of papers that require multiple sources from multiple viewpoints. But how do you know which sources are reliable and which ones to avoid? With the amount of information out there, it is incredibly hard to know what is true or not or who is being incredibly biased or not.

The most important thing I learned in Module 2, English 102 is how to strongly evaluate sources before making a decision on which ones to use. Some sources could have hidden agendas and may be trying to sway your opinion on certain topics. Some could be more popular sources as opposed to academic.

These men do not present unbiased news that ponders both sides of the spectrum to decide whether it is right or wrong, instead they make all of their news stories an “Us vs Them” scenario. (1) They use dialogical format reports which ask questions and projected solutions often gathered from popular opinion polls. (1) What they are doing is catering to their target audiences. They are not bringing up all the facts, but only the facts that help them support their target audiences position, depriving the viewer of the whole story so the viewer cannot make their own opinions.

Can people get credible sources from internet? Yes, they can. However, many people do not know how to identify whether the sources are fake or not. In general, the old people and young people are just starting to use the internet; they are getting confused with those informations. Some informations can earn old people and young people’s trust eventhough the informations are fake. This essay will teach people how to get credible sources from the internet.

Credible sources are ones the reader can trust. We trust that the author’s ideas are his or

Silverman believes the news while being founded on accurate information, has now become known for lies and rumors. Lack of credentials results in distorted facts, which leads to the routine of claiming and exerting some compelling phrase to receive credibility. Silverman’s goal is to create an awareness in the next generation of journalists, so that the river of polluted information, may someday, return to the

Anzur and Silvia in their chapter The Role of a Storyteller offers insight to how journalists have been adapting to technological changes in the workforce as online mediums become more prevalent in news organizations. As multimedia reporting is becoming a norm in journalistic techniques, journalists must face the pressure to conform and learn new skills, or face unemployment. In addition, an excessive workload is faced by journalists. Although I understand the importance of adapting to changing technologies and making news more interesting and readily available to the public, I believe journalists adapting to this change, or just entering the field may be overworked. Moreover, excessive amounts of work can potentially lead to subpar reporting ultimately not benefiting the public interest.

Footage from the 9/11 attacks and the “Miracle on the Hudson” was first taken by bystanders effectively acting as citizen journalists (Emerson College ECommunication Thoughts). However, stories may also be neglected due to the bias of networks and publishers (Outing). Various news stations, including Fox News and MSNBC, have a history of coming under fire for intense political bias. Although personal bias is usually negligible in the professional realm, political bias often stems from the influence of network heads and their monetary goals (Marcovitz 27). Journalists are often called “watchdogs” focused on keeping the government in check (Marcovitz 6). The effectiveness of citizen journalists is often in question; professional journalists are trained to keep their personal biases in check. However, a B.A. is not required to have moral compass. Although citizen journalists have no professional training, many still follow a certain code of ethics (Marcovitz 51). A metaphor is implemented to describe the position citizen journalism must hold:
