Question

Which type of source would be considered the least credible for researching recent identity theft trends? an interview with a professor on a university’s website a personal story featured on an individual’s blog an in-depth study featured on a government website an article on the wall street journal’s website (www.wsj.com)

Answer 1

Answer:

A personal story featured on an individual's blog

Explanation:

Option A would be considered credible, since it is tied to a university. Option C is also credible because it is an in-depth study that is promoted on a publicly-funded page. Option D is credible because the Wall Street Journal is recognized as a reliable news source. Since Option C is written by a private individual with no professional connections that may support their claims, they would be least credible.
