In Class Blog Post #6

There are many different types of information sources. Four main sources we discussed in class are magazines, books, newpapers, and government documents. In a magazine, you would most likely find information on events from that month the magaizine was published. Magaizines are mostly a popluar source because people usually readthem for their pleasure. In a book however, you could find information from a wide range of dates. The book may have been published 10 months, to 10 years ago. Books always take a lot longer to publish than a magazine. These are more of a scholarly source because they usually have more facts, source looked at, and have been reviewed by multiple people and publishers. Government documents are very reliable, therefore considered a scholarly source. Most information written in a government document is all facts on different matters whithin the country. Lastly, newspapers are more of a popular source. Theyare published daily on different matters in a certain area or topic. Although the articles are reviewed by the publisher of the magazine, they do not have the time to be examied by multiple people and scholarly experts. they are more so just for the entertainment and information of the citizens within that community.
