    Though this article has no specified author, the site is obviously trustworthy from the copyright at the bottom of the article (Copyright 2010 by BNO News B.V. All rights reserved. Info: sales@bnonews.com.).  The article is clearly written, tapping evidence from officials to support the story.  The information is broken down and covered thoroughly, even though the article itself is quite short.

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.

Fidel Castro - The New York Times - 0 views

  •  
    Anthony DePalma is a noted journalist for the New York Times, having spent time reporting from various countries in Latin America. This article is a compilation of New York Times coverage of Cuba, Fidel Castro, and US-Cuba Relations. On the right side of the page, there are links to other related sources. The page is easy to read and has a wide range of information. The New York Times is generally a very accurate newspaper, and the article was edited in July of 2010, which is definitely recent enough to have current information on what is covered in the article. This is a good background article, but there are other sources available for more specific aspects.

As elections loom, how will Haiti react? - MiamiHerald.com - 0 views

  • ``We have no government. We only have a bunch of racketeers. A government is a group of people thinking for their country,'' said an unemployed Franky Metellus, 33, who has grown even more disappointed with the Préval government since the quake. ``Look at all of these young people in the streets. They are discouraged. They don't see the future.''
  • ``This is a low-profile election with low-profile candidates,'' Valet said.
  • With the opposition fragmented and most candidates lacking financing, the candidates Préval supports enjoy a considerable advantage. And that worries people like Valet as Haiti's rubble-strewn streets become dominated by life-size green and yellow INITE billboards featuring a smiling Célestin.

  • ``The democratic process has been kidnapped by money,'' Valet said. ``There are no rules to control the flow of money, no rules to control access to public and state-funded media.''
  • Still, the vote on the last Sunday in November will be the first competitive election since 1990 with candidates strong enough to force a presidential runoff.

    Jacqueline Charles, of the Miami Herald, is the newspaper's Caribbean Correspondent. and is a native Haitian. Though the article does mention that statistics come from "recent polls", it is not said where or when the polls were taken. The article also seems a bit biased towards the people who are frustrated about the elections and the government, and barely mentions those who believe the opposite. The article was very recently published (on Oct15, 2010), and seems to cover quite a bit of information within this fairly narrow topic.
