The creation of the internet and social media has made the ability to exchange and share information at a rapid rate the norm today. No longer is the bevy of news ingested after dinner with the local and national news broadcasts or with the morning coffee through the local newspaper. The internet provides a pathway for access of information provided by mass media outlets such as CNN and peer-to-peer transfers to just about anyone anywhere. With this dramatic increase of accessible information, students, researchers, and scientists are capable of exchange theories and discovery across the globe with one click. However, though the internet offers a

Its complex writing style is meant to enhance its audience’s previous knowledge on MRSA. “What is MRSA?” is not intend to be read by the general public, who mostly likely would become lost in its intricacies. This article is meant to be used as a background reference and educate those in the scientific or medical communities. Those who have a broader understanding of MRSA by either generally studying it in college or having researched enough to understand biological terms are also targeted. This article conveys the message that MRSA is no longer just a concern for hospitals, but that it has become a concern for normal communities all around the world. High risk, sick patients are not the only individuals that can acquire this infection. The article also mentions that MRSA has been found in pets, and in animals that we consume, which include pigs, and cows. The primary research article,” RNA-Seq Reveals Differential Gene Expression in Staphylococcus aureus with Single-Nucleotide Resolution,” much like the previous article, “What is MRSA,”exhibits a scientific, factual tone is relating its message. However unlike the previous article, the format of this article follows the scientific method in its reporting: background information and purpose, hypothesis, experimental method, results, and conclusion. This article reports the experimental results to the scientific …show more content…
Darst, due to it being a peer reviewed research paper. Being a research project, the subject of this paper has been heavily investigated, a hypothesis has been worked out, an experiment has been carefully planned and tested, and the conclusion of this paper has been based on scientific evidence. The authors are also faculty at Rockefeller University, which enhances the credibility. The findings have also been verified by numerous experts in the field since this paper is subject to peer review. We would least likely trust the article, “Superbugs” from the New York Times, because the New York Times is a general information newspaper that is not curtailed to expertise in one specific field. The writer most likely is not an expert in bio-chemistry research, and although the Times is sure to have researchers who fact check all of their published articles, it is unlikely that any of these fact checkers have significant background in the medical research
