Evaluating website:
While evaluating reporting.bizjournalism.org article on Stunt Actors Compete With CGI for jobs the first impressions that appear to the source website is that it can not be taken as a credible source. The main site does not clearly state whether this is a group that is supported by an sponsor or organization while at the same time it is this groups objective to inform the public of the lives of people trying to make it and big companies looking for the next big thing in Los Angeles. The article itself does not have works cited for the information that it provides about the people mentioned for the main sources of stunt acting. Merely providing brief descriptions of Grant Jewett, Hugh Aodh O’brien, and Bridget Riley the stunt actors without any information on where the descriptions of these people came from. Another example is the fact that this article is on top of it’s main section Making It there is no clear indication that there is any updates in the past few years, which can indicate that this organization may no longer operational.

Comparing Two websites:
While looking for a second article to compare with the first on EBSCO I stumbled upon one called Endangered Stuntmen that shows professionalism to the subject between CGI and how it is dominating stuntmen. The article shows more examples and has a lot more details on how stuntmen and CGI are opposing each other in the industry of film. While it easily states where it’s source came from and other title categories that clearly states what’s in the paragraph. Although the author, Weinman, Jaime, J, would not be on a higher grade than Alicia Canales author of Stunt Actors With CGI for Jobs because they both have the same style of writing and format when it comes to creating their points on each article.
While it was hard to distinguish both articles to see which one had the possibility to being a primary and credible source. It became clear that neither had enough information on either page to be taken as either a primary or credible source.
