• This source is relevant to my topic because it offers an orthodox view to the issue at hand. It offers a personal narrative over how the issue was portrayed in the media and how it affects everyday citizens including visuals, such as charts, images and graphs. A limitation of this source could be its conspiracy oriented message; however, the data used is reliable. In addition, the author is directly related to Edward Snowden, because Glen was the journalist who published the leaked information via The Guardian.

• This print source provides a critical view of the government’s policies regarding NSA surveillance and goes on to point out that it limits democracy as a whole. It is useful or one of its chapters entitled “Should the Law Condone Unauthorized Disclosures?” , which could potentially be beneficial to the legality potion of this investigation. The book itself is extremely reliable as it offers a comprehensive documentation of its citations and references and offers it high credibility.

• This video created a simplistic view at what the NSA is doing with the technology and information available. It could be limited in that its original source is The Guardian as it was directly involved in the Snowden scandal and because it takes a conspiracy sort of angle to the information. However, nonetheless, it does provide good insight on how the agency works.
