Answer:

In a news story, people tell a real story, but most of the time they weren't there at the exact time and place of the scene. So when 1st hand accounts are in a news story, it is very effective because they are directly speaking to a reporter and most likely are a direct source of information. (Sometimes people over exaggerate)

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you have a diary? If you do, you were writing from your own viewpoint. In newspapers, reporters write about things that have happened but most of the time they weren't there themselves.

1st hand accounts are another word for 1st person. If you have learned about it, you should know that it means that you are narrating,

Have an awesome day!
