Is a work that summarises/draws on multiple news articles secondary or
tertiary? I wonder, because I've considered writing articles based on
very old newspaper articles (eg, late 1800s). But I realise that it's
actually pretty hard to do, to not take events out of context, etc.
I'd be much better off using a book written by a historian...who has
read the articles. Is that book secondary? Tertiary? Somewhere in
between?
