2个思考“在上下文更新”

  1. I am wondering why Gale includes USA Today as a source? I find little depth to this newspaper. Please respond.

  2. Thanks for your comment, Alice. We strive to include a variety of sources in Gale’s In Context resources, including newspapers of different types, scope, and reading levels. This aligns to current literacy standards that require students to gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources and assess the credibility and accuracy of each source. USA Today is a daily general interest newspaper distributed nationally that includes world, national, state, sports, business, finance, and lifestyle news that is useful to student researchers who are looking for information on a wide variety of topics, ranging from academic to general interest to current events.
