Annotated Bibliography in APA style

I have always used MLA format. But, most business professors expect APA format. In this article, I will write an annotated bibliography on the six sources I have been gathering on the debate of Uber vs New York.

Flegenheimer, M., & Fitzsimmons, E. (2015, July 16). City Hall and Uber Clash in Struggle over New           York Streets. New York Times. Retrieved from www.nytimes.com.

Flegenheimer and Fitzsimmons lay a foundation for the debate and controversy of Uber vs New York City. They cover what both sides have said and specifically how Uber responded. This article also has responses from other cities and people that are facing similar problems. I will use this article to lay a foundation for my essay as well as quotes that are used.



O'Brien, S., & Segall, L. (2015, July 23). Big win for Uber, New York Backs Down. CNN. Retrieved             from www.Money.CNN.com.

O'Brien and Segall address what Uber has to lose and the people who are invested in the debate. They provide many quotes from both sides to help lay a foundation for the article. The biggest take away is noting the people who are invested in the company Uber and have a lot to lose if the cap is put on. I will use this article to lay foundation for my arguments.



Tangel, A., & MacMillan, D. (2015, July 22). Uber, in Deal, Averts Curb in New York. Wall Street              Journal. www.wsj.com.

Tangel and MacMillan provide in this article the hard facts and statistics to help the reader analyze and form their own opinion of the debate. There are graphs and link to other official sites to help support their article. This will help provide me with the facts and backbone of my essay.



Flegenheimer, M. (2015, July 22). De Blasio Administration Dropping Plan for Uber Cap, for Now.              International New York Times. international.nytimes.com.

Flegenheimer addresses more about how the city and it's officials are responding. There are many quotes from both sides, but Flegenheimer mainly focuses on the side of the city. Flegenheimer discusses how the city has not put a cap on necessarily, but it is not a loss for New York, nor is the cap off the table forever- it can always be brought back up for discussion. This will help me in my essay to convey the side of the city properly with all of the quotes given.



Platt, S. (2015, July 20). Taxi Drivers Protest Possible Uber Expansion in NYC. GettyImages.                      www.gettyimages.com.

Platt is a powerful photographer that reminds people that there is also another side to the debate, and that is the taxi drivers being affected by Uber. His one photograph of the taxi drivers brings empathy and an open mind tho their side. This article will be helpful to show that there are more than the two major sides shown in the public eye.



Crovitz, L. G. (2015, July 26). Why Uber drive the Left Crazy. Wall Street Journal. www.wsj.com

Crovitz discusses how the world is advancing with technology and the government is not catching up  or, even trying to prevent further advances. Corvitz identifies the separation of sides between Uber and the city and who leans which way. Because of how many people are mentioned in this article, I will use it to illustrate the impact and importance of the issue.



CBS This Morning. (2015, July 23). NYC Mayor de Blasio on surprise deal with Uber, Pope Francis.[Video File] Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw4YTIGpaxU

In CBS This Morning's interview of Mayor de Blasio, they ask him lots of questions regarding the controversy. De Blasio refutes the major points that Uber has been using to propel their business. He also talks about the agreement that the city made with Uber. The first half of this video will help me pull quotes and be a great hyperlink for my QRG.



CBS This Morning. (2015, July 21). Former Obama Adviser David Plouffe on Uber's Vision and Critics. [Video File] Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAu1RjBHrp0

In CBS This Morning's interview of David Plouffe, they discuss they Uber company and why it shouldn't have a cap. Plouffe speaks on the issue of congestion, and the employee benefits as well as lots of political aspects of the debate. This video also shows the commercial that Uber put out to encourage others to fight the cap. This video will be great to pull quotes from as well as extra information the audience can watch.

Griswold, A.(2015, July 1). Uber's Going To War with New York City. Again. Slate. www.slate.com

Griswold talks specifically about the cap that the city wants to put on. She talks about the rally that Josh Mohrer, the manager of Uber in New York, help but didn't work. The article has lots of graphs that will be very beneficial. I will use some of her quotes as well as the images from the article.

This site is purely for the purpose of posting a picture of Uber app when it had the de Blasio tab on it, which is no longer there.


Reflection:

I was over at the Cirone Zone looking at Isaak's' annotated bibliography. I really like how the AMA is set up. Listing the sources as a numbered list is one of the format requirements and I think it makes it look neat and clear. The numbered list also makes it look like a blog post because it is one of the conventions.

Chelsea's annotated bibliography was well done and clear. She did the same format and me, APA. Her annotations were a whole lot longer. Although it may not be good for a bibliography, it will probably really help her when she starts writing her Quick Reference Guide because she already has so much written.

I was really good reading all the other bibliographies. It found it interesting how many other formatting styles there are. It was also interesting to see what other majors use the same format.

  1. Hi Bri. I had to annotate in the same format and this is something I have never done before either. After working through my own bibliographies, I can see that you have the correct formatting. On the online examples I found, it had the second line on indented from the first line, but I never figured out how to indent in the blog. I could put spaces on the second line, but past that I couldn't figure it out. But on some of the examples I read online, it seemed that at the end you put the full URL instead of just the websites' home page. But overall good job including all the information on the review guide in the book.

  2. You have a different style annotated bibliography then me. I had to do ama style but they don't seem all that different. The same things are included such as the author(s) the title the date it was published and the website it was found on. By the looks of your style guide it looks as if you did it just as you were suppose to with the correct formatting and everything.
