2.11 Evaluation of Social Media Sources


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/12/black-lives-matter-quotes_n_6277412.html

The first article is titled “16 Quotes to RemindAmerica That Black Lives Matter” by Sara Boboltz and is published by The Huffington Post. The Huffington Post is a credible newspaper. The material posted in this article about my controversial topic has been agreed with and posted by multiple sources. The article was written in December of 2014 which makes the article relevant to my current controversy. I think that The Huffington Post is a reliable source due to the amount of articles posted everyday. However, I do not think that the news source is considered a scholarly journal.

My second article found on Storify is titled “The truth about young black men and police shootings.” This article expresses a different side of the controversy covered by Fox News. The article is written by John R. Lott by Fox News, a popular news report, and watched across the nation. Millions of people follow their network ranging from scholars to famous people and the rest of society. This article was posted on October of 2014, which is within the range of when the controversy became a popular discussion throughout the nation. I would consider the source reliable despite it being a news group and not a scholarly article.
