Obama Cuba Policy Overhaul: "Reaching Out To The Cuban People" - 0 views

  •  
    The article comes from the Huffington Post, a fairly legitimate site, but there is no clear indication of author. The article contains legitimate information as well, no spelling/grammar mistakes and it has links to other sources like the Wall Street Journal and CNN which verify the information presented. The article is essentially the facts on Obama's policy overhaul. The article is from 2009, right after the information was published from the government. All links are current and up to date. There is enough coverage for an understanding of the issue, plus links to longer articles on other websites.

American Experience | Fidel Castro | People & Events | PBS - 0 views

  •  
    Brief history of Fidel Castro and his views on the US. Roots of Anti-Americanism and ideals behind policies are explained. While the source was written in 2004, it is about history, and therefore the passing of time does not make it innacurate, although new facts could have been uncovered. The author is not stated either, which does not seem accurate, but the sponsor site is PBS, a reputable site.

U.S.-Cuba Relations - Council on Foreign Relations - 3 views

  •  
    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.

    The state of US-Cuba Relations in the past and present. Reasons for disagreements, information about Cuba, and other foreign presences are explained. The website is accurate, organized, and flows logically. Stephanie Hanson, the author, cites sources and her intention is to inform the audience about global issues.

    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.
