Evaluation Of General Sources

Online sources for information are often found to dis-credible. It is important to find credible ones and to check that whose writing the articles has little to no bias. Below I will discuss two popular sources and show how their views on the recent resignation of Toshiba CEO, Hisao Tanaka, after a major financial inflation scandal.

The first source I have chosen is from Entrepreneur.com  This post originated on the popular blog called Reuters. This popular business blog has reported many times in the past about other business controversies. The last time this blog was updated was on July 21, 2015. The purpose of this article is to let the public and Toshiba stockholders know of what is happening within the company and to warn them of their investments. The graphics included in this post are of Toshiba R&D Headquarters. Seeing as this article is more informative rather than debatable, it has a more neutral and informative stance.

The second source I used is from Business Insider. This post was partially accredited to Reuters as well but was also edited and written by Jim Edwards, a BI writer. It was also last updated on July 21, 2015. Just as the article from Entrepreneur, the purpose of this article is also to tell the public and stockholders of the issues at hand within Toshiba. Graphics include photos of the former Toshiba CEO and Japan Deputy Prime Minister. Business Insider also has a more neutral approach to this subject as it is also more informative than anything else.
