Journalism 101/201 (Friday, January 20 - 7th period)

Rita did not look happy.

At all.

“All right. I rather liked most of your headlines,” she smiled at Quinn, and shot a look at Anakin, “and so today we’re going to move onto another subject: sources. Where do we find our source for a story?

There’s a firsthand source - that’s actually interviewing someone, or reading their work, the like. Getting the story from someone who was there.

Secondhand sources are written or otherwise relayed by people who were not there at the time. Books, films, all of that - things that were open to interpretation. Slightly less reliable.

Those are the two that we’ll be covering in today’s assignment. What I’d like you to do for the next class is bring in a source on a subject that interests you. It can be a book, a film, article, et cetera. Extra credit will be given to anyone who can actually convince a student - one who does not have class during fifth period on Wednesday - to accompany you to class as a firsthand source.”

She arched a brow. “Questions?”

[OCD COMING UP!]
