Nellie Fly, reporter for The Flyspeck
Flyer, is here with the buzz for Kid
Scoop News readers on how to know the
difference between facts and opinions!
REMEMBER: Opinions describe how
someone feels about a thing or event.
They can vary from person to person.
The job of a news reporter is
to tell the news in a fair and
accurate way. That means a
reporter must provide
readers with the facts.
She should not
express her own
opinion, but let
the reader decide.
Facts are pieces of
information that
can be measured,
proven or seen.
Hmmmph!
THAT is certainly
an OPINION!
Flies have six legs.
Flies are ugy.
