Lesson 7 Prompt: Value of Source

What value does each of your sources have to your audience?

Three of my sources used for assignment seven were city newspaper articles. Local newspapers are of great value to Calgary aldermen and to Calgary’s mayor. The local press reach huge numbers of Calgarians and have the ability to sway people’s opinions. Those people of Calgary who are swayed by the press are the same people who vote in local elections and are the ones who gave council members their jobs. The media is very powerful in politics and good politicians know how to use the media to their advantage. My last two sources were web facts on the current housing market in Calgary. This information is very valuable to local politicians who must use this information to make the best choices for Calgarians.
