Understanding Anonymous Sources
Sometimes reporters rely on people who cannot be named, for example because they fear losing a job or facing retaliation. Responsible outlets explain why a source is unnamed and try to confirm information with more than one person or document. When you read a story built on unnamed sources, look for signs of that care, such as a description of the source's position and a note on how the claim was checked. Reports that give no explanation at all deserve extra caution.
