knowYXE strives to be as transparent as possible with our journalism. As such, the bottom of every story we publish is a key so readers know the source of the story’s content.

 

Transparency Key

​

SINGLE SOURCE - Only one source was used to create the story. This often means from a government or police media release, for example. Single source reporting will never be used in scenarios where double confirmation is required.

 

MULTIPLE SOURCES - Multiple sources indicates the information in the story comes from more than one source. It can be any combination of sources such as media releases, online data, original interviews, reporter observations, meetings, question period, and news conferences.

 

VERBATIM - The story is recreated from a source word for word.

 

NEAR VERBATIM - This means the story is presented with very light editing and little change in the substance. For example, NEAR VERBATIM is used often to change the tense of a story, grammatical corrections, and length.

 

STOCK PHOTO - The image used is a royalty free stock image for representative purposes only.

 

FILE PHOTO - The image is presented from our own file images for representative purposes.

 

ORIGINAL PHOTO/GRAPHIC/IMAGE/VIDEO  - The image captured is an original captured by knowYXE.

 

SOURCE: - SOURCE is used to identify where the image came from.

 

ORIGINAL REPORTING - Sometimes, we’ll mark a story original reporting to let readers know the story involved traditional reporting techniques and used multiple sources to create it.
