“2.11 Evaluation of Social Media Sources.”

Credibility: My sources are from the Huffington Post and TYTSPORTS. Both these posts were not made by an individual, but by that companies or organizations twitter page.
Location: Neither of the posts have a visible location.
Network: They posted these articles on twitter and seem to be followed by others in their given field. Huffington Post is associated with other news companies, while TYTSPORTS is associated with other sports companies, such as ESPN.
Content: The posts do not cite any other sources, but have links to their own webpage with the full article.
Contextual Updates: Both of these sources post about subjects in their field, they do not solely focus on this one subject.
Age: The accounts have posted quite a bit so I would not say that they are new accounts.
Reliability: I would consider both of these sources to be reliable ones.
