Chilean Miners Rescue: Watch Live Video - The Daily Beast - 0 views

  •  
    Upon first glance, this article seems very informative because it uses quotations and even provides a video companion. However upon closer review, I realized that the author's name is not published, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of the article. The news shown elsewhere on the site was relevant and current, which caused me to trust its credibility in the end. The author clearly supports the Chilean miners and the government's efforts to save them. Also, the article was written a couple of days ago, meaning it is up to date and can be relied on.

Freed Chilean miners return to 'Camp Hope' for Mass - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    Karl Penhual, the co-author of this article, is a very respected video journalist for CNN. He is a regular on Anderson Cooper 360 and search results show he is well-known by many news sources. The article is mainly factual, but the authors do use direct quotations from the miners, showing concrete evidence and giving substance to the story. Given CNN tries to remain unbiased, the article does not give any opinions on the story, meaning little personal bias is visible.

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.
