Attributed reports are used for developments that can be stated directly, sourced clearly, and updated quickly without copying third-party article bodies.

A attributed report should:

  • identify and link the primary source,
  • explain why the development matters,
  • distinguish reporting from commentary or aggregation.

A attributed report is a format for attribution-forward coverage, not a substitute for original field reporting.
