Article citation and credibility

Keogh, J.. "NO BREAK FROM THE ACTION. " Worcester Magazine  25 Feb. 2010: Alt-Press Watch (APW), ProQuest. Web.  25 Oct. 2010.

                This article is a short interview with a Marine who went to Vietnam and he speaks of one of the experiences he had and also about how it was like to come home and people’s reactions to the fact that he was a Vietnam War veteran. I think it will be helpful because helps to show that what O’Brien wrote about is not uncommon.

 Article Credibility Evaluation:

Michelle Ye Hee Lee.  "Help for soldiers, kin coping with effects of service. " Arizona Republic  20  Jul 2010,Arizona Republic, ProQuest. Web.  25 Oct. 2010.

1. “Michelle Ye Hee Lee is a state government reporter at The Arizona Republic, covering elections through December 2010. She graduated from Emory University in May 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in English and International Studies. She has interned at the Chicago Tribune, Creative Loafing in Atlanta and the Pacific Daily News in Guam.” (Michelle). The newspaper she wrote this article for is the Arizona Republic and coincidentally the article is about how an organization called Arizona Coalition for Military Families (ACMF) is doing their best to help soldiers and their families adjust to the stress of being deployed.
2. The article was published July 20, 2010. It is fairly recent and I was only looking for an article that was written about deployed soldiers who were in the Iraq war and this article directly addresses that.
3. The author is making a claim that the ACMF is doing a good thing in helping the military families and it is bringing it to light because the author feels there is a need for the community to pitch in and help support the returning soldiers. The argument flows logically and it uses emotional appeal by telling stories about the stressful situations that soldiers living in Arizona have gone through. The author cites about five sources at the bottom of the article one of which is the V.A, which would have credible information about the mental and physical state of soldiers returning from deployment.
4. The only slightly suspicious thing about this article is that it is talking about an Arizona organization and the paper is based in Arizona and is a big news source for the state. It could be that the paper had printed the article in an attempt to get more subscribers and that the organizations mentioned in the article would also get more monetary support.
