Newspapers frequently are used by historians as primary sources. So this study of a current newspaper article which you locate is the study of what may very well become a primary source used by historians in the future. You are analyzing, not just summarizing, a newspaper article, either from a local paper or in an online newspaper such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun Times, Washington Post, Greenwood Commonwealth or any other United States or English language newspaper. This means CNN, yahoo, Fox News, MSNBC, Huffington Post, blogposts or URL texts that end in .org, etc. are not eligible for these assignments.
