Off the record, off the mark: the use of unnamed sources is a bad habit

Article Abstract:

Journalist David Shaw criticizes reporters' excessive use of unnamed sources in their stores. He attributes the prevalence of this practice to reporters' desire to be the first to break a story and to appear more knowledgable among their peers and superiors. However, he believes that this practice undermines accuracy, is self-perpetuating, does readers a disservice and encourages sources to require anonymity even when it is unnecessary.
