Journal #13: My first source

I wondered what kind of topic should I choose for this research paper. Should I choose a topic which relates to my major or should I challenge myself with a new one. Finally I had a decision:

Most of companies recently have been affected by economic crisis. I would like to learn about how they are facing this issue through doing this research paper. The research will be narrowed by hotel businesses. And this is my first source:

HOWARD, H. (2009). Hotels keep the deals and discounts coming. New York Times, , 2. Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com.lib-proxy.fullerton.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=36832729&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Actually I don't know who the author is. All I know is the last name Howard and this person is from The New York Times. I found this article on the day having class with Mr. John Hickok. This article is short but it gives me a general idea how hotel companies face the financial crisis. They almost offer discounts and deals but each one has different strategy which I am interested in. It is also a source of inspiration for me to decide a topic for the research paper.
