Who really saw it? — Fact-Check Room · Free Press
A cat got stuck on the roof of the school. Some people saw it, and others only heard about it. First-hand means the person saw or did it.
Your task
Is each source first-hand or second-hand?
- First-hand means the person saw or did it. Second-hand means they were told.
- 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
- How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
- Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
- Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.
In real life
Eyewitnesses can still make mistakes, so good reporters compare what different people say.
