Question

Which type of resource are newspaper accounts written at the time an event occurred?

Answer 1

A primary source is a document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study.

Examples of primary sources:
The Constitution of Canada - Canadian History
Plato's Republic - Women in Ancient Greece

Answer 2

That's a primary source, because it was written at the time that event occurred, so that's likely going to be a more credible source.
