    Published May 14th 2010, this article has no single author but instead has the semi-obscure organization's name in the byline: "Big News Network.com." It summarizes an Organization of American States (OAS) report on global crime rates but has no link to this source. Also, the low-quality graphics and overall site design, big font, and low-level grammar are a little suspicious.

  • ``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.

    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.

    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.
