Using a Google search, locate one reputable professional source. In 75+ words,
explain how you know this source is a professional source connecting specifics from
the source with the criteria covered during the lecture.
The New York Times Magazine titled “The Immortal Myth of the Unicorn” is an example of a
reputable professional source for these five reasons. Firstly after skimming over the article, it
was apparent that the source was written for a wider audience. I can tell this by the short
paragraphs and understandable content. Secondly, the article used less heavy head vocabulary
common to professional sources. Thirdly, this article included a visual design of a unicorn.
Fourthly, this paper sparsely uses quotations and does not contain works cited page. Lastly, we
know this is a reputable professional source due to the content coming from New York Times
Magazine.

Using a Google search, locate one source that might seem to be reputable at first but
doesn't align with the professional source type criteria. In 75+ words, explain how
you know this source isn't a professional source connecting specifics from the source
with the criteria covered during lecture.

I know that the website I found is not professional because although it looked
reputable at first, it did not meet all of the criterias. It was a page written by a
writter and it is a personal page. It is not found in reputable newspapers,
magazines, etc. Along with that, the only visual design elements I could really
find was her different youtube videos attached to the pages. The biggest factor
was that there is no editorial board because she is the only one writing in her
website.

Using the Collin College Library Academic OneFile (Gale) databases, locate one
reputable professional source. In 75+ words, explain how you know this source is a
professional source connecting specifics from the source with the criteria covered
during lecture.
We know that The Washington Post source below is a reputable professional source
because of its tone, content, and layout. Although this article has language that is specific to
current pop culture appeals, as well as Greek mythology, it is still a language that is easy to read
and understand. The article covers some more intense themes and concepts from Greek
mythology, but it approaches them in a well-mannered way that could be read by 8th grade levels
3
or above. The article content is conversational as it is telling a story, with a shorter paragraph set
up, but it is still professional from a reputable newspaper, The Washington Post.
