Why it mattersStandards

A standards note on filing location, timing, and sourcing in world dispatches.

What to verify0 sources

Use the source file, response routes, and updates before treating any contested detail as complete.

Follow the threadworld

Open topic path or search related wording such as records, sources, agencies, dates, and locations.

Every dispatch should establish where it was filed, when it was filed, and what reporting or source material it relies on.

Datelines are a basic element of reader orientation, not a stylistic extra.
