While this source has no specific author, it is published on a notoriously reliable source The Economist. The article outlines where Latin America falls short in its economic growth, and reason why it continues to do so. It contains informative bar graphs which are a nice addition help illustrate the article's objectives.

Although this article does not present its author, it comes from a trusted source, The World Bank. Published a few years ago on February 27, 2007, the article provides relevant and well-cited examples and information on the status of indigenous people in Latin America. Also, the article is organized into clear sections, making it easy to follow as a reader. In addition, it offers further information (reports, case studies, an interview, a video, and working links to other websites) . Overall, I would say this website is an excellent resource.

This reputable New York Times article is by regular contributor Jens Erik Gould who has firsthand knowledge as a correspondent in Venezuela. It asserts that Latin America's high crime/murder rate impairs economic growth. It was published a few years ago (October 17, 2006) but is full of well-cited, very illuminating facts and convincing evidence that still seems relevant. A solid, detailed source I recommend.

The article has two very clear authors, each with a mini bio to establish their credentials. There are no basic errors but there is no indication as to where they got their facts, and it is clearly presented as an opinion piece. The scope of the info is good, but it isn't current as it was published in 2001.

There is a clear author, and the website looks like the site of a fairly legitimate magazine, "The American." The information has no basic errors, and while it is clearly an opinion piece, the facts check out against other sites I saw. The article was published in 2009, and it covers a good scope.

This website answers questions about US-Cuba relations. I believe it is very reliable given it is written by Stephanie Hanson, an employee of the Council on Foreign Relations, which publishes the internationally respected Foreign Affairs Magazine. The Council on Foreign Affairs is a non-biased think tank committed to accurate, current news. The author seems simply interested on informing her audience with reliable information. She sites her sources with links to external articles, and she provides clear evidence.

Stephanie Hanson is a published writer who covered economic and political development in Latin America for over three years for the Council of Foreign Relations, an independent, nonpartisan organization committed to remaining objective about matters of policy. This article cites the vast majority of its statistics and factual information to reputable sites, and confirms information I knew previously. The information is mostly factual, and seems fairly unbiased. The author's objective seems to be only to inform interested citizens about the topic. This article was published on January 11, 2010, and covers a large variety of topics relating to US and Cuban foreign affairs. 

This website has a clear author (Stephanie Hanson) who appears qualified after a google search revealed her extensive experience and recognition writing about global issues. The Council of Foreign Relations is the site's organization which is a famous, distinguished resource for public and government debate. Information is accurate, grammatically correct, and clearly cites sources. CFR is a nonpartisan organization which aims to be an unbiased facilitator of discussions about world issues. The article itself presents basic facts and allows readers to form their own opinions. The site indicates the date when the article was last revised (January 11, 2010), has a 2010 copyright, and provides up-to-date links. It covers a wide range of points and is pretty long but is well-organized with an introductory outline dividing it into clear sections.
