In February of 2009, Alex Roland wrote an informative article on how the advancement of miliatry technology is both a good and bad step for humanity. Alex received his PhD from Duke University and is currently a professor at Duke teaching about the history of technology. Roland is a very learned individual with a rich background of education. Hence, the article Roland wrote is the best news article because it provides both an insightful and informative look to both sides of technology's advancement in today's society, through the use of relevant information and a realistic counter argument.
A good news source should have relevant information and realistic counter arguments
News today can often be misleading. Consisting of personal opinions and facts, it makes it hard to grasp an author's meaning. News articles should be a place where someone can go to rely on factual data, not somewhere full of subjectivity. After researching for a reliable news source, I found that a magazine article is much more reliable than a newspaper or a blog because unlike the blog, which was more like a story, the magazine was factual and had evidence to back up (for the most part) any opinions.
A good news source should be factual and have evidence to back up opinions.
