Sagot :

Answer:

  • Yes, If you use the movie for background information or analysis about your topic – for example, to learn about a historical event or a scientific discovery – the movie is a secondary source

  • Yes, Newspaper articles can be examples of both primary and secondary sources. It would be considered a primary source while an article from 2018 that describes the same event but uses it to provide background information about current events would be considered a secondary source.
