Your task
Sort each tip: is it public interest or just curiosity?
- Public interest means it matters to many people. Private matters are not news just because people are curious.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
- Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
