2) Credibility - CNN by itself is a reliable source. But also they provide links to outside articles on the page to corroborate their posting of the story.
3) Critical Thinking - Based on the information in the article you can deduce a lot about the plane and the issues with the search. i helps you think by mentioning important details and providing links to search for more information.
4) Copyright - This page itself was copyrighted in 2014. This article itself was posted on Sun March 16th, 2014. Meaning that it was updated today.
