Three Sources

Hello guys! Today I will be evaluating three new sources that have to do with the justification of racism in comic books.

 The first source I will be evaluating is, "Propaganda in Comics", by Cord Scott.

Scott is a reliable author because his credentials are shown in his article. He has written several encyclopedias and academic journals. He also has a Doctorate in American History from the University of Chicago. The URL shows that it is a hosted by nonprofit. This article was posted in 2008 so it is not the best source to choose since it is seven years old. I believe that the intended audience is anyone who is looking to inform themselves about comic books and how they were used as propaganda especially for the war. This a scholarly source because there is a bibliography documenting the works cited by the author in the source. 

The second source I chose to evaluate is, "How the Government Turned Comic Books into Propaganda", by Greg Beato. This article was published on February 28, 2013 which is fairly recent. Greg Beato is a contributing editor of Reason magazine which makes him a reliable source. Throughout his article he has links to other articles which help readers follow along and understand what he is talking about. I believe the intended audience is for adults because it is a more heavy topic about comic books that kids wouldn't really comprehend. Beato also uses many quotes throughout his article which shows others perspectives of other people about his topic. 

 The third source I will evaluate is, "Comic books and World War II: Buying Into the War", by R.T. Johnson. There isn't any credentials shown within this article for Johnson making him an unreliable source. Although Johnson does use other references within his article which makes his work very informative. The intended audience for this article would be for young adults who are interested learning about comic books and their role within the war. The URL is hosted by a commercial site. There also isn't a date which shows when this article was published which makes this an unreliable source since we can't determine if the article is outdated or not.
