Primary source is an original source of the information being discussed.
Reading Task (P 65)
Secondary source is a secondhand account about people, events, topics or places that is based on what some other writer has experienced, such as a story, a book, a report or a film.
The content of a news story should be unbiased, and completely fact-based. Sources of the information should be clearly cited and integrated into the piece.

Primary sources and secondary sources are very important for finding out the truth. The closer a person is to the event they describe in time or geographically, the more likely they are to be accurate.
Tips
