Writings of domain experts who are not anonymous. Newspapers with good reputations.
Those are good secondary sources. Tertiary sources like Wikipedia aggregate information from and references to secondary sources. They aren't really substitutes for each other, in either direction.
It's hard to find domain experts and newspapers that print about the sheer amount of content that is in Wikipedia. For example, this article on display resolutions. Are there many domain experts who keep a page regularly updated or newspapers that write up to date articles on it?
In the case of this example, where would I go to get an overview of the Eric Garner case? Newspapers tend to report day to day news, not give overviews. How do I know who is a domain expert? How do I verify that?
Although we don't have many posts about Garner, my site, Newslines, attempts to build up a news archive about people, companies and news events that is free from the many biases that cause trouble in Wikipedia.
