3. The academic/intellectual credentials of the source. Does it appear in a peer-reviewed journal? Is this from a credible media source. Is the author someone who has expertise in the area?

*Each citation should be between 200-300 words
Your annotated bibliography needs 7 citations. 5 citations should be of writing. The pieces of writing can be journal articles, op-eds, books, and other scholarly sources. 2 citations should be pieces of media. The media can be documentaries, songs, interviews, or any other media that gives you insight into your topic.
