Mason Stephenson · Answer 1

A. A newspaper article written the next day.

Explanation:

This is the medium that is most likely to include accurate information about a news event, for two particular reasons. First, newspapers tend to be committed to reporting accurate information, and they strive to be free of bias and gossip. Second, as the event only happened a day before the article was written, the memories of the event are less likely to have been altered due to time.
