Source Methodology

Primary Sources

Wherever possible, PressOraHub reporters go directly to primary sources — official documents, court records, government data, academic research, and on-the-record interviews. We link to primary source material whenever it is publicly available.

Verification Standards

• All factual claims must be verified by a minimum of two independent sources
• Wire service reports are treated as one source only and must be corroborated
• Statistical data is traced back to the originating institution or study
• Quotes are verified with the speaker or their representative before publication

Anonymous & Confidential Sources

We rely on anonymous sources only when the information is in the clear public interest and cannot be obtained on the record. When we use anonymous sources:

• At least one senior editor knows the source's identity
• We describe the source's position or relationship to the story as specifically as possible
• We explain why the source required anonymity
• Anonymous sourcing is never used for personal attacks

Wire Services & Partner Content

PressOraHub may republish or build upon content from wire services and trusted media partners. Such content is clearly attributed. We independently verify major claims before publication.

Social Media & User-Generated Content

We treat social media posts as leads, not confirmed facts. Before publishing social-media-sourced information, our reporters independently verify it through additional reporting.
