Newspaper Article Assessment

This newspaper article discusses a new Facebook application for an online dating service entitled Are You Interested. Instead of discussing what goes on in the real world outside Facebook; users are informing each other on the the social networking website about applications such as Are You Interested. The article details this new application and how it competes with rival dating websites. The newspaper article has accurate information and cites where it received its numeric data. The article clearly demonstrates how powerful Facebook is and how it competes with unrelated websites. The newspaper article is authoritative because it demonstrates its facts with evidence.

  1. This source is authoritative because The New York Times has the reputation of being credible.
