1. Read the cover story from a current news source like Time magazine. Make a list of
   all the experts and laypeople quoted in the article. Compare and contrast the type
   of information given by each type of source—primary, secondary, or tertiary.


2. Discover the international, ethnic, and alternative newspapers and magazines in your
   library by making a list of available sources that provide diverse perspectives. Or do an
   online search for “alternative news sources.” Read and take notes on an article in at
   least one of the resources.
