How I Know What I Know

When I think about it my daily routine is interesting but I think it may be similar to others. This morning, just like every other morning, the first thing I did was grab my cell phone. From there, my next steps were: check the time, entered my passcode and hit the app with the white 'f' inside of a blue box.

Facebook is my social media site of choice. It is where I go to get my dose of daily news. It keeps me informed on what is going on in the lives of family and friends as well as world news.

This morning I clicked on a post from CNN. The title of the post is "The greatest MLK speeches you never heard", written by John Blake. The article says Dr. King delivered up to 450 speeches a year. I only recall hearing two speeches from Dr. King.

I believe the information in this article to be true because CNN has a reputation as a credible news source and the information inside of the article is verifiable. The article provided links and book titles to check it get additional information. I was interested in learning more about a speech that is considered his most controversial and was able to access the full transcript of the speech.

Social media sites can provide credible information. Traditional media outlets utilize social media sites to provide content available on other mediums. The content on credible sites are trackable, traceable and verifiable.
