What Type of Scientific Information Would Include a News Report

Question

What type of scientific information would include a news report?
A) primary source
B) secondary source
C) tertiary source
D) anecdotal evidence

Accepted Answer

A news report would typically be a secondary source, as it reports on primary sources such as scientific studies, research articles, or interviews with experts. Tertiary sources, such as encyclopedias or textbooks, would not likely include recent scientific information from news reports. Anecdotal evidence is not a scientific source at all, as it is based on personal experience rather than systematic observation or experimentation.
