Evaluation of Social Media Sources

Source 1:

• Credibility: The social media was not posted by a single person, however it was posted by a nonprofit organization known as the On Earth Peace. 
• Location: The organization is not in the location they are posting about, however this organization supports equality among others. They also support the Black Lives Matter movement which is directly related to my controversy. 
• Network: Several of my friends on Facebook like the On Earth Peace page. I have found several well known church organizations associated with this page on Facebook and Twitter. 
• Content: The information the page posted on Facebook was found on another website/source page.  
• Contextual Updates: This Facebook has posted other related topics on their Timeline. Another post mentions how black deaths matter only if they are posed in a picture where they are protesting or where others are involved with racist paraphernalia. 
• Age: From what I found on Facebook, it looks like this page was created in the year 2011. 
• Reliability: I conducted brief information on the On Earth Peace organization and the source of the information is reliable. 

Source 2: 

• Credibility: ABC News posted the social media message on Facebook. I know this is a credible source because I watch ABC News and have followed up with several of their stories on the internet. 
• Location: There is an ABC News location in Philadelphia, which is where the event on the Facebook post occurred. I would consider ABC News as directly involved with the scene because the news channel filmed the aftermath of the incident.
• Network: Several well known news reporters work with ABC News and several governors/ senators follow them on Facebook and Twitter. 
• Content: The information posted on their Facebook account can be corroborated from other sources. 
• Contextual updates: Other related topics are on their Facebook page including posts about federal prisons and guards. 
• Age: The Facebook account was created back in 2009. 
• Reliability: I have found information about this post on other reliable  websites.
