- REFERENCE Using APA style, indicate how you would reference the 2 articles you selected.
- AUTHOR Who is the author of the report? Would you consider this author to be a credible source to report on findings presented at an APA conference? Why/why not? Do not automatically assume it is a credible source. You must do some research on the author in order to answer this question.
- PUBLICATION What is the name of the publication which printed each article? Who is the target audience for this publication? (search for media analytics data on the publication for information on readership, sales, etc). Does the publication extend to a wide, general audience, or is it a niche market publication? Is this a publication you would go to for information in psychology?
- CONTENT Overall, how faithfully was the material presented in Rosen’s talk conveyed in each article? Were Rosen’s ideas and findings presented accurately? Did the articles contain erroneous information? Be specific. In your opinion, did the article portray a well balanced presentation of Rosen’s facts and ideas? Or was it biased? If so, in what direction? Did the articles provide a critical analysis of Rosen’s work (reflecting investigative journalism) or did they simply summarize major findings?
