account provided by people who did not directly witness or participate in the event.
b. A primary source is an account provided by people who did not directly witness or participate in
the event, and a secondary source is information collected using visual evidence, such as a news
photograph.
c. A primary source is information collected based on interviews with people, and a secondary
source is information collected using visual evidence, such as a news photograph.
