Journalism: The Importance of Sources

Washington Post Guidelines:


The Washington Post places a premium on original reporting, and the credibility of Post journalism is the bedrock of our entire enterprise. While timeliness is crucial, the overriding concern for accuracy should always prompt us to consider whether additional reporting should be undertaken before publishing and how information should be presented and, in some cases, qualified. In a major news event, readers may soon forget who first broke a story, but they are less likely to forget a devastating inaccuracy.
