Google Source:
The article I chose is from USA Today. If an author wants to
work for them, they have to make sure that they get everything right and use
the appropriate sources. If they didn’t they wouldn’t be working there for
long. USA Today has gained credibility by being right for many years, and only
reporting what they believe to be fact. The article is a very reliable source
of information about my topic. My topic has been so widely talked about, that
there are reliable sources almost everywhere you look. It started out in the scholarly
papers, but as the topic grew, authors of newspapers and media outlets started writing
about the issue as well and they used the scholarly papers as sources.
Scholarly Source:
The scholarly source I chose is from The Education Resources
Information Center. I then had to find the article on the VT library page. The
author, Penelope Portman, has written numerous articles about the youth of
today. Through the research she has had to do for these articles, she has
become somewhat of an expert on the subject. The ERIC only posts articles that
they believe as fact. They include journals that go back to 1966 that cover
many different subjects. If they were not a reliable source they wouldn’t have
had the time to post articles from almost 50 years. The same is true with VT
library posts. They only post what they believe is fact. The content is very credible.
It is hard to lie about something that everyone can see, in that obesity is on
the rise in children.
