Judging by the fact that Emily Bazelon is listed as a senior writer for this magazine company and that she works at Yale, I would say that for the topic (she researches constitutional law and social justice issues), she is a credible source to read when it comes to legal issues. The intention in writing this was to look at Florida's Amendment 4 (to restore voting rights to felons) in the context of it being a racial-based issue, similar to the post-Reconstruction era when Black citizens were kept from voting through new laws/policies. Moreover, The New York Times is highly receptive when it comes to editing, having policies in place regarding when information needs to be updated or corrected. So despite this article being far from an academic journal, the information within it was still gathered and published with journalistic integrity. This includes the court cases, statistics, and experts referenced throughout the article (and interviews). The article was published in 2018, but I believe it's still incredibly relevant because Amendment 4 has sparked more conversations on letting felons vote while incarcerated, making the information in this article important. Especially since Bazelon's analysis relied heavily on examining Florida law in its historical context. I would choose this source over another because it checks my boxes for credibility and it relies on qualitative accounts (observing and interpreting things to understand why something is the way that it is) rather than quantitative, which makes it unique.
