CR News Source Review #1
Please select a contemporary article on a current civil rights issue. What counts as an article? An article on a website, in a newspaper or magazine, or a broadcast by a recognized television or radio publication all count as articles for our purposes here, as long as they were published (or broadcast) on or after Jan. 1, 2016. You may turn to the places you usually find your information or news, as long as they are reputable sources of fact-based news, not opinions. If you don’t find anything there, you can consult the attached resource on "How to find sources of information through the library," which is a library guide, or watch the video, recorded in a previous semester, that I have posted at the end of this assignment.
Your review should be 250–300 words long and consist of three parts:
- Citation information: record who wrote the article, when it was written/broadcast, its title, and its publisher.
- Describe the incident/issue that is being covered and explain why it represents a civil rights issue. Quote the article and explain the importance of the quoted language. If different opinions are presented, be sure to say who you think is right and why.
- After you analyze the article, add a short paragraph in which you discuss the reliability of the publisher (the newspaper or magazine or journal or website). If it was published by an organization, what does the "About" page reveal about that organization’s priorities? When you google the organization or look it up on Wikipedia, do you find analysis that suggests the organization or publisher should be viewed with some skepticism? If it is published on a commercial website, what products or services does the site also sell? Does the article take a particular slant, as far as you can tell? Can you identify reasons to trust it? Or not to? Do most of the articles that surround the one you chose appear to be factual? In other words, this part of your review should be about the publication, not the article itself. For example, if the article you chose was published in The New York Times, this part of your review should be about The New York Times. This part of the assignment will help you learn to evaluate the reliability of particular publications and other sources. For more help evaluating sources, see the attached handout.
