Welcome back to The Journalist’s Resource reader quiz! We’re hoping to make this a regular feature because several studies show that online news quizzes are an effective way to engage audiences. As researchers noted in a report from the Center for Media Engagement at The University of Texas, “They’re enjoyable, they help people to learn, and they yield more time on a webpage.”

This week’s quiz focuses on tip sheets and explainers published by The Journalist’s Resource from Aug. 6 to Aug. 14. You’ll find links to those pieces at the bottom of this page. Feel free to consult them as you take the quiz. We won’t tell!
