USA Today's Editorial Board wrote an article called "The terrorist's iPhone: Our view" written February 20, 2016. This article focused on the argument on weather Apple should cooperate with the national government and use its technology to unlock a private cell phone. This is directed to everyone concerned with the safety of their personal information, but also to the government and Apple. The Editorial Board sat down on video and debated their personal views on the topic. They then only took the concepts they agreed on and made it their final argument.
Their final argument to weather Apple should or should not comply with the government was that Apple should cooperate, in moderation. The Editorial Board of USA Today collectively stated, "The best outcome to this showdown might be a compromise that keeps a single-use-only key confined to Apple's headquarters, combined with legislation that limits government access to extraordinary scenarios in which lives are at stake." I think this is a relatively good argument showing that there might actually be a way to solve this problem without upsetting the government or Apple.
I believe they had proper evidence to back up their reasoning as well as their solution. What made this a strong argument was what they said in response to their own solution. They themselves came up with problems and questions that might come along with their solution indicating it can always be altered to fit better with the public opinion. Another strong side to this argument is the fact that they explained how their thoughts may change and there questions may be answered as more information is presented. As far as credibility, the authors are chosen by USA Today one of the biggest new papers established right now. According to my research, USA Today is listed a credible source for all to use. Based upon this information I believe this source would not appoint a group of people who are not credible to represent there newspaper.
