1) This article seems to be appealing because it will cover what people can and cannot say in social media! It also appears as thought they will discuss what people have said on social media forums that have offended people and go into further detail about the situation(s).
"Who Can Say What."(cover story) By: Poniewozik, James; Caplan, Jeremy; Lofaro, Lina; Sachs, Andrea; Rubiner, Betsy. Time, 4/23/2007, Vol. 169 Issue 17, p32-38, 6p, 3 Color Photographs
2) The author is a searchable and seems credible man. The Article is still very revenant only being two years old. The source also appears to be a good one too!
"Culture, Rap Music, "Bitch," and the Development of the Censorship Frame." By: Schneider, Chistopher J. Deviance/American Behavioral Scientist, 1/2011, Vol. 55 Issue 1, p36-56, 21p.
3)I like that this focuses on the Web itself and how it deflects what Congress wants to do with the internet. I love that it actually has quotes from those in power and states why they feel they way they do. It connects to the audience and makes you want to continue to read further and further.
"Web Rises Up to Deflect Bills Seen as Threat." By: Jonathan Weisman. New York Times(Late Editions(East Coast)). New York, NY. 1/19/2012 ph A.1.
This was a good assignment! I loved looking at all the different sources and being able to know how to search effectively! That astrid* tool was incredibly helpful! I never knew you could do that! It opens so many more doors and endless possibilities! Also replacing filler words with 'and' that is insane how much of a difference that makes too! What I changed was putting censor* instead of censorship, placing 'and' between censorship and media and united stated, these short quick fixes brought up a TON more articles for me. This was all very helpful!

Library
Search Term: Censorship
Citation: Merino, Noel; Censorship; Detroit; 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Circulating or E-book?: Circulating
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C394 2010
Trustworthy?: Age-it is only two years old so the information is still revenant. The author has a Ph.D, so she also is a very credible source in herself. The publisher is also a reliable source.
Summit Catalog
Search: Censorship
Citation: Barbour, Scott; Censorship: Opposing Viewpoints: Detroit, 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C393 2010
Trustworthy?: The author has a substantial amount of sites commenting on his good work and that he is a valid source for information. Also the book is less than the five year mark so its contents should still be reliable and trustworthy.
Differ from the Cannell search?: I like that this search actually showed the cover of the books we were looking up, it makes them more real and valid than just words on a website. The Summit search was nice that it gave a list of options where your book could be found and it also let you know if it was even available currently or not.
Google Books
Search: Censorship
Citation: Jennings, Brian and Hannity, Sean; Censorship: A Threat to Silence Talk Radio; New York; 2009
Trustworthy?: The book is only a few years old, again making its contents valid still. The authors are both credible and Jennings is actually 'signed' to "Simon & Schuster" publishing and Hannity being apart of the political scene so he is constantly up-to-date with the current news.
Summary
They are all very useful! I am glad that I now have ann four of these under my belt and I am able to navigate through them with ease! They will be a tremendous help for all the papers I am sure to have come my way. They are all pretty common though, each giving the essentials of the book and its authors. They all have the links to the books they list and ensure you a way to find them either to rent or purchase. Goggle Books is a way to buy the books where the others are more to read online or to lead to you a library where you can rent them. I found the Cannell Library and Summit Catalog the best for me personally. They are both within our school and they tell you exactly where to find it in our library, which for me is probably the most convenient to use. If they changed tomorrow I would be able to find my way through them still, it just may take a few moments longer to ensure I am doing the right things. They all had a very fair amount of search items, you can break down your terms quite a bit and they all help you narrow in on what it is you are looking for exactly.

Journal Four-Censorship
Questions
1. How much is religion censored on television, radio, internet, etc?
I would probably search the encyclopedia for this, looking up each source of media and how much they get censored. I could also look at specific sources, such as LA Times/ABC/PBR etc for what their guidelines are.
They are all censored differently according to the area to which you are in actually. Although there are many things you cannot say or do on most every media source the actual facts come down to what areas you live in. The Federal Communications Commission, Communications Decency Act and Children's Protection Act are just a few of the things put into motion in order to keep censorship in the media.
2. Who first implemented all these censors and why?
Again I could use encyclopedias and also government documents found primarily on the internet.
It appears as though it goes as far back as 1978 with the Sedition Acts; which had been placed to limit the printing of slavery and its abolishment.
3. What is deemed 'harmful or hate speech' on these media sources?
Again encyclopedia! This seems like a daunting thing for me to be using a whole lot! They do hold a lot of information, but I could also again use government documents found online to see what they state to be 'harmful and hate speech.'
Things deemed as such are usually words or phrases that force others down and make them feel inferior.
