A. Direct

     Clip from your college and community newspapers local stories that are based on direct observation and second- and third-hand sources. Explain your classification and indicate whether the reporter could have observed the event directly but settled for another person's account. Did the reporter fail to attribute information not obtained directly?

B. Press Freedom

     Freedom House conducts an annual survey of print and broadcast media to determine whether their host countries allow freedom of the press. Only one person in five lives in a country with a free press, the survey has determined.
     In a recent survey, the countries with completely free media were Canada, Germany and the United States. Those with the most controlled press were China, Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey, Singapore and Malaysia.
     What constitutes a free press, and what makes up a controlled press?
