Re [Quiz]Newspapers

I wouldn't have gotten past 40% prior to researching to make this quiz, so I'm glad I'm not really eligible to take it (I have probably already forgotten some of the answers!)

Re [Quiz]Newspapers



10%. Please don't tell anybody that my first major was journalism.

Laughably, the only answer I got right was an event that occured after I left school.

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

My first major was journalism too. I took a look at the quiz and decided to "run away, run away!"

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

I'll take any quiz no matter how esoteric or (in my case) popular the subject matter. You can tell by looking at my scores.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

I'm a good loser, but a REALLY bad winner!

And I'll take almost any quiz, too. It's not like we won't graduate if we mess up. I just don't like taking quizzes that make me appear even more ignorant!

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

I got a whopping 10%. I find the quizzes fun - even if I don't know anything about the subject. I figure that if I learned a thing or two, I did myself some good

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

20%. I managed to get one right guess and one answer that was the only possible answer if you know any history about Native Americans. (Which I happen to know because my mom is part _____.)

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

I was just reading up on newspaper history and found it all fascinating, so I made a quiz.

Re [Quiz]Newspapers

*grin* I've taken two different journalism history courses--one of which was a graduate level and still scored poorly on this quiz. Neither did it help that I changed two answers that I would have gotten right if I'd stuck with my first gut instinct. But the one I knew both had been associated with the question, I just couldn't remember which was first.

Interesting trivia!

30%. I was embarrassed until I read this thread. Now, I'm just....mildy mortified.
