I believe an article holds credibility when it uses examples and solutions for its arguments. I feel they need to have reliable sources to prove there points. Any major publishing company or newspaper holds alot of credibility to me. Also a very important factor to me for credibility is the date of the article. Some people might not pay attention to this, but we have to realize our culture is constantly changing and an article from two years ago may hold no value to us anymore. Almost all the articles in this section of The Carolina Reader hold alot of credibility to me because they were published in "The State". One article, "Homeless People Used to Scare Me," was published at AssociatedContent.com. A website doesn't hold much credibility, because anybody can say anything on the internet. Also the article, "Oliver Mission Plans to Move," was published November 18, 1999. That was almost ten years ago. Alot has changed in the past ten years and information in the article may not be relevant anymore.
