I believe the word you're looking for is bibliography. If so, then I would love for all people that hold the title journalist or reporter to start including one. Use it for every statement. Will it slow down time to print? Sure. But factual accuracy and provability are worth enough that I would pay such a news source.

- alisonkisk 6y agoJournalists have sources. They name sources. They avoid linking to sources because sources are their competition for attention and ad/subscription revenue. It's the same reason shops don't link to their competitors' or wholesalers' websites

On the other hand your journalists are falling hard on using unnamed sources and tweets. What about back story, recent history, historically relevant information? Most articles are virtually all filler, no references, a quote, no context, no history.
