I've got some disadvantages
Newspapers- biased/ unbiased + what's the purpose? Exaggeration? Censorship
Photographs- It doesn't show everything + staged + things have been purposely not included
Paintings- not accurate + just an interpretation + secondary source
History textbook- Historians interpret the past differently/ might not be accurate + written long time after the event
Radio: Censorship during the war= things not being included
Poster- purpose? Exaggeration? Cartoon = like painting + always biased in come way
Hope these help
