3 ways attribution can help journalists build credibility

“Accountability : Journalists should show where our information comes from. Otherwise, it can seem like we are making things up, or don’t care about the truth. Transparency : Reporting is as much about telling how you come by a fact as it is giving the fact itself, because the reliability of information often depends on who or what the source is. Attribution gives insight into the reporting process. Reproducibility : Attributing information is a service to readers and listeners, giving them the option of seeking out the source independently to find out more.”

-- Jerome Socolovsky, author and NPR Training team's audio journalism trainer, excerpt from "If you want people to trust your reporting, attribute your sources" (NPR)
