When the strongest source is also the most vulnerable, the most compromised, or the most afraid, how should journalists decide what can be used, protected, or published? In "Investigative Journalism: How to Develop and Manage your Sources", the article argues that sources are the backbone of any investigation, but only when they are handled with discipline rather than romanticised as shortcuts to truth. It maps out a practical hierarchy of sourcing, from open-source and paper records to primary human sources, stressing corroboration, legal awareness, careful handling of anonymity, and the need to separate fact from assumption at every stage. The broader point is straightforward: strong investigations are not built on access alone, but on how rigorously journalists test, protect, and connect their sources to verified evidence. 🔗 Link to the full article is in the comments below. #InvestigativeJournalism #SourceProtection #JournalismPractice #EvidenceBasedReporting #InvestigativeMethods #MediaEthics #SourceManagement

Anonymous sources can expose wrongdoing, but only if used responsibly. From Watergate to whistleblowers worldwide, anonymity has helped protect lives and reveal truth. But in journalism, secrecy must always come with verification. How do you feel about anonymous sources in news reports? #JournalismTrivia #AnonymousSources #InvestigativeJournalism #PressFreedom #SourceProtection #MediaEthics #AJR #AJ_eLearning #TruthAndTrust #Whistleblowers
