  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that all of New Hampshire will experience a partial eclipse when in fact only those who go north to Lancaster will see a full eclipse. Secondly, the article suggests that visitors should plan ahead and avoid limited routes during the day of the event but does not provide any information on how many people are expected or what kind of traffic is likely. Thirdly, while it mentions several events in New Hampshire for viewing the eclipse, it fails to disclose whether these events will be held by private organizations or if they have been organized with government support.
    • The article claims that all of New Hampshire will experience a partial eclipse when in fact only those who go north to Lancaster will see a full eclipse. This is deceptive because it implies that the entire state will be able to view the event, which is not true.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the New Hampshire Travel and Tourism Director Lori Harnois as a source of information about the eclipse's potential impact on tourism in New Hampshire. Additionally, the author quotes Globe correspondent Dave Epstein as a source for information about how total solar eclipses differ from annular ones. The article also contains an example of inflammatory rhetoric when it describes the crowds that are expected to gather during the event and suggests that visitors should plan ahead in order to avoid them. Finally, there is an example of dichotomous depiction when it contrasts between experiencing a full eclipse at Coleman State Park and attending a special concert featuring Cynthia MacLeod and Gordon Belsher from Prince Edward Island.
    • The highly anticipated Great North American Solar Eclipse which will send a lunar shadow sweeping across the country from central Texas, through the Midwest, and across northern New England on Monday, April 8 is expected to bring a wave of visitors to the Granite State eager to experience the celestial event firsthand.
    • We expect a significant influx of people
    • The state launched a Joint Information Center and a dedicated website NHSolarEclipse.com, to coordinate information-sharing.

            • Deception (30%)
              The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Nashville will only have a small portion of West Tennessee included in the path of totality when in fact it is not mentioned anywhere else what part of West Tennessee will be included. Secondly, the article mentions two cities inside Kentucky and Indiana as being able to witness a total solar eclipse but does not mention any other states or cities that are also on the path. Thirdly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that over 100,000 tourists are expected to visit Russellville in Arkansas which is six hours away from Nashville and implies it will be an extremely large event when there is no information provided about how many people usually visit these cities during a solar eclipse. Lastly, the article uses selective reporting by only mentioning two cities inside Kentucky that can witness totality while not mentioning any other states or cities on the path.
