indigenous learning

When looking for information we turn to the news for it. But how do we know that information is a reliable source? After taking time to review and compare these two articles about mandatory indigenous credit classes in Canadian colleges we can see the differences between a reliable source and an unreliable source. For example the CBC I believe is a reliable source. With a good reputation for providing accurate news, they also have senior reporters that understand how to deliver it in a non objective way. They are straight to the point and only provide facts. Their purpose is only to inform and provide information. The second article I compared was the northernbublicaffairs article. If the CBC article had everything right about staying unbiased then the northernpublicaffairs did everything wrong. The northern public affairs author is a maskikow undergraduate making him give a biased opinion about the decisions being made at the school. Although stating the dangers of the new courses he fails to provide any evidence to support his statements. Instead of being informative information it's just the opinions of the author on a site that covers more than just news. That is why we have to be careful about the news we read and make sure the information we are getting is the right information that lets us form our own opinions instead of someone deciding for us.
