Journal 28: Sources?

The current issue that I am writing an essay on has a abundant amount of information on the internet as well as on paper. I myself know a bit about the issue but I am sure the more information would help. The information I can gather up from the news and internet can greatly help me to convince my readers. It is because how I matured after the economical crisis and that I began to learn more about the world around me. If I write the essay without such information I would seem like I didn't mature at all and that I haven't learned any thing about the world around me and that I am a lazy person. Colleges don't want to see that I am lazy therefore I should search up more information on my essay topic so that it can help me convince my readers of my growth. Since the event has occurred four years ago it is very likely that most of my information would be on the internet and old newspapers. Since old newspapers are harder to get by my best bet would to be searching about it online with Google or Yahoo and once I find information I need I would bookmark it for later use and also check if the information is valid.
