After reading an article from TIME magazine about how NASA unlocked the mystery behind Intergalactic Radio Bursts I discovered that the source came directly from the website. TIME is where the article received it's photos and paid attribution to the descriptions as to how they discovered the mystery. TIME magazine is one of the most trusted online sites for news stories. The reporters come from an array of different and professional areas such as the Associated Press. This article specifically is a representation of NASA itself, the leader of space exploration and discovery. Therefore, the accuracy of each news story publish and source attributed must be legitimate in order to sustain the professional reputation that a business such as NASA strives to withhold. Sources such as NASA and TIME when dealing with information regarding knowledge things outside our world could be a safety concern as the public needs to stay a brisk of any potential threats from space.

Another article was about the 214 passenger plane crash that left 183 passengers hospitalized. This article was published by the Huffington Post and from there sources such as HLN, CNN, gets their own insight of the story and investigate the scene of the disaster to further elaborate the details to the citizens in the surrounding areas and the world so we would be informed about any relatives a=or friends that might have been aboard that flight. The sources used were reporters from the Associated Press, reporters from Beijing, and New York that also contributed as well.

That is a good correlation between TIME & NASA. They are both trusted companies and they have reputations to protect. Neither of them would want the integrity of their company to be jeopardized by journalists reporting faulty information.
