# AT8 source reliability practice set

## Student topic

I am writing about whether influencer marketing affects young consumers' trust in brands.

## Sources I found

1. A peer-reviewed journal article from 2021 about influencer credibility and purchase intention among university students.
2. A brand agency blog post from 2024 titled “Why influencers are the future of advertising”.
3. A government consumer-protection page explaining rules for labelling paid social media promotions.
4. A Wikipedia page on influencer marketing.
5. A TikTok video where a creator says sponsored products are always tested before promotion.

## Student question

Which of these sources look most reliable for an academic assignment, and what should I check before using them?
