Do you cite sources in your newsletter?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question, as it depends on the specific content of your newsletter and your audience. However, it is generally advisable to cite sources when discussing controversial or disputed information.
Additionally, citing sources can help readers understand the context of your article or research, and can help them assess the reliability of your information.
When deciding whether or not to cite sources in a newsletter, consider the following factors:
-The purpose of your newsletter. If the primary purpose of your newsletter is to disseminate information without providing any context or analysis, it may not be necessary to cite sources.
On the other hand, if you are providing context and analysis as well as information, it is important to include citations for any information that you believe is worthy of critical examination.
-The audience of your newsletter. Some audiences will want to know where you got the information they are reading, while others may not care.
It is generally advisable to provide citations for any information that you believe warrants critical examination. However, this decision ultimately depends on the specific content of your newsletter and the audience you are Targeting.
-The type of source you are citing. If you are citing a news article from a mainstream media outlet, for example, you would include the name of the publication, the date of publication, and a short summary of the article.
If you are citing an academic journal article, you would include the title of the journal article (with all letters capitalized), the published date (including year), and a brief summary of the article.
Ultimately, whether or not to cite sources in a newsletter is up to each individual author and depends on factors such as the purpose of their newsletter, Target audience, and type of source being cited. However, providing citations can help readers understand why particular information is being discussed and can help them assess its reliability.
