Evaluating Internet Sources

I found this article, “Beyond the Border of War” By Tamara Jones on The Washington Post website. The Washington Post is a reputable newspaper, and they have a website. I did some research on the writer, Tamara Jones, and she also has a great reputation within the journalism community. The Washington Post was affected by the economy, so in May of 2008 Tamara was offered a buy- out from them which she accepted. Prior to taking the buy -out, Tamara’s story on The Virginia Tech Shooting won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting in 2008.
The Washington Post’s website is updated everyday. As for Tamara Jones, she mentioned in an interview that she wanted to write fiction. This article that she had written on draft deserter’s fleeing to Canada was very interesting. She talks about the people who have traveled to Canada instead of serving in the Vietnam War and the War in Iraq. This article will be of use to me when I’m writing essay #3.
