The following are the ten sources that will help me in my first project.
- The source is from Youtube but the actual video is from MSNBC. The source is credible considering it is from a broadcasting news network.
- The author is Rachel Maddow. She is a well known news reporter for MSNBC, attended Stanford University and has a strong presence on online media such as Twitter. Her strong presence makes her a reliable source.
- The source came out on 18th of December of last year. Nothing was going on that month that might have affected the controversy. The time period of the source comes sort of late into the exposure of the controversy as by around October of 2015 the results of lead in Flint's water was pretty much confirmed by local research done in the community. Also, at this time, Flint declared a state of emergency.
- The source offers an overall outline of the controversy in which it presents stakeholders such as the residents of Flint, governor Rick Snyder and the emergency managers who moved the switch to the Flint River as a source forward.
- The source is from Michigan radio. The source is credible since it is from the state from which the controversy arose from
- The author is Lindsey Smith. Lindsey is the reporter of Michigan Radio and she has been recognized by Michigan AP. This gives more credibility to her.
- The source came out in December of 2015. At the time of this month, MSNBC was doing a special report on the water crisis in Flint. In this month, the nation was on the verge of being informed on this issue.
- The source offers specific dates in the controversy such as the date of approval of the switch of water sources in Flint and gives me a more local insight into the controversy.It presents key stakeholders such as Rick Snyder and the citizens of Flint.
- The Detroit Free Press. The source seems credible considering it is a newspaper.
- Robin Erb. Erb has a Twitter account and she is a health writer for the Detroit Press and not much else is given by her. This makes her credibility sort of doubtful.
- October 2015. Around this time, state officials of Michigan were doubting the numbers coming from Dr. Mona Hanna-Attishah, a pediatrician of Flint Michigan who researched numbers of lead in children's blood.
- This source focuses on an important stakeholder, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attishah and provides more insight into what she significantly contributed to the Flint water crisis.
- Detroit news. The source is a somewhat local news source of the controversy.
- The Associated Press. The article does not mention any specific authors other than the AP wrote it.

- October 14, 2014. At this time period in the whole story, Flint is well into using the Flint River as their water source and complaints begin to emerge from the residents.
- This source offers an interesting point in the story where a company of the city recognizes that the water of Flint is beginning to rust the auto parts used at GM. I would say it sort of represents the citizen of Flint GM (a company is a person after all) publicly stating that the city's water is rusting up their product.
- Youtube. This could doubt the credibility of the source.
- DTV. Not much could be found on the credentials of the author other than they are a Public Education Channel created by high school students in the Davison School District.
- January 4, 2016. Nothing significant was going on around that date to have impacted the source.

- Michigan live. The source is from a newspaper.

- May 23, 2014. This period places slowly before the climax of the story, which is around mid 2015.
- This source offers insight into what some residents of Flint were saying in reaction to the suspicion of the newly placed Flint River water.
- Michiganpolicy.com. The source is a website.
- Amber Vrooman. Vrooman did not have that many credentials to be found, doubting his credibility as a writer.
- April 20 2015. Nothing of impact is occurring around this time to the controversy.
- This source is key to the project as it gives a slight background into the "why" of the water switch in terms of finance.
