Editorial Standards
Datelines and Sourcing
A standards note on filing location, timing, and sourcing in world dispatches.
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.
