Website Evaluation

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/18/AR2007041802279.html

In the Washington Post website, the article "Drinking Age Paradox" by George F. Will talks about the controversy of the drinking age. In the article he explains how the effects of the drinking age being twenty one and backs up his statements with supported evidence, and credible sources.

The article contains given links that are functional and are sources that actually backs up each one of his statements. Also the statements of McCardell, the president of Middlebury College. George F. Will also included his contact information by including his email address at the bottom of the article which shows that he can be trusted. Working for a well trusted organization in the Washington Post, shows that his article can be trusted as well. This is a current article that I can use in my research because it was published April 19, 2007. His purpose for this article was to persuade and inform his reasons why the drinking age should be lowered.

Therefore in the article "Drinking Age Paradox" this website is credible. The website has successfully passed the "CRAAP" test and can be trusted to be used in my research.
