Reliable sources

The reliability of a source is always dependent upon the particular circumstances. For "blog-type" sources in general, like Huff Post or Daily Beast, it depends upon the editorial oversight provided by the site, and the individual "blogger"'s individual background (Someone who has been widely published in books and peer reviewed sources on TOPIC X will be given more weight as being a reliable voice on TOPIC X). The Huff Post itself has received a Pulitzer prize for Journalism, so it is not just "blogs". Huff Post and Daily Beast in general are considered to have a pretty good over sight of the material they post and in general they are in general default as "reliable opinions" unless there are other extenuating circumstances. Whether the content in them is about controversial material about living person also will play a role in determining whether or not they are suitable sources.

I dont know if that will help you at all. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
