This is a sample story. It demonstrates the Sources section at the end of every article. Nothing in it is news.

When a story goes viral, the original source is often lost along the way. A screenshot of a screenshot travels further than the post it came from. Part of our job is to find the original and point back to it.

What goes in the list

The Sources section lists the documents, publications, datasets and people a story relies on most. Where a source is public, we link to it. Where we have built on another publication’s reporting, we name that publication.

What this sample lists

The two sources below are real, public documents: a widely used code of journalism ethics and the web accessibility guidelines this site is built to follow. They are included to show the format, not because this sample makes claims based on them.
