At the Daily Acorn, a note says the bridge in Mossville will close next week. Your job is to check it before anyone prints it.
Your task
Choose the best way to confirm the story.
- Two sources that do not depend on each other are much stronger than one.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
