Who saw it first? — Sources · Media Detective
A rumour says the invented town's swimming pool is closing forever. Sort each source: closest to the original, or second-hand? Sort each source.
Your task
Sort each source.
- A primary source is the original: the person or organisation that made the decision or saw the event.
- Every person, site, post and brand in this case is invented — a training simulation.
Score
- Follow the trail — You found where it really started.
- Weigh the source — You trusted sources for the right reasons.
- Cross-check — You compared with other sources.
In real life
