Vytautas Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey,I have chosen an article about the Mexican soda tax (it was in a blog, but I think it is allowed as a source since the blog belongs to The New York Times). The problem is that the tax was introduced in January 2014, the data was collected from December 2014, an investigation was carried out in December 2015, published the findings in January 2016 and the article was published also in January 2016:D My teacher said that my article is good, but the events are too old.. Is this article not about "current events"? Should I choose another article?( Would love some input Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibsurvivors Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Actually, I'm pretty sure it's over a year ago. And your article should be perfectly fine to use; it's date of the when it was published that counts. As long as it's less than a year, to the best of my knowledge, you're good to go.
