Reuters should remove the Washington Post from their list of trusted sources.

Can you elaborate on this? I understand that Reuters (like other news agencies) use their own journalists. Am I misunderstanding what you mean?



From what I understand, The Washington Post is a third party content provider for Reuters. The articles that are submitted to Reuters most likely do not get verified a second time by Reuters Journalist as they trust that WaPo already did that.


Interesting. Do you have a reference for this? I did an admittedly cursorily search before posting my initial comment, and didn't find any.


The Washington post is listed here as a 3rd party source [1]

Thanks for the extra legwork! I wonder if this extends beyond the their financial wire service, though I don't see why it wouldn't necessarily. I'd also like to know more about how third-party sources are vetted.
