I'm pretty sure a primary source is finding the original article in a peer reviewed journal or other publication if that is not available. Secondary sources are okay if you cannot find primary source material.
So you can't use an article from National Geographic, for example, but you can take the source paper for the National Geographic article from the publication Nature. If you interview us with a set of questions and you write an article then we're not really the primary source, though you could take your paper for publication and then *you* would be the primary source. Honestly, not a bad start to a burgeoning career in journalism :) It seems an odd assignment. Ask your colleges how they are approaching the assignment. sean On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 1:59 PM, araoa <[email protected]> wrote: > I have done a lot of research recently, but my professor asked us to find a > primary source, which means we have to find someone who answers a set of 10 > questions.
