Why the fuck isn't it considered standard for news articles to list sources? Every other type of publication it's expected. Newspapers get to just say: "trust us bro."

Why?

>>20083
I'm not talking about "anonymous sources said X" obviously.

>>20084
And then even stranger still, more serious articles that list sources may list newspapers as sources.

good question

Newspapers historically being printed on paper had a very strict economy of space that didn't apply so much to books and other media. The trend has stuck, probably because there's no pressure to change it.

>just list sources for your propaganda
newspapers couldn't perform their role

They're the sources. They're not academic articles, they just break news as quick as possible. You just have to hope wherever they their reports from (Associated Press for example) is trustworthy.
