Anonymous Sources

Anonymous Sources is a journalistic practice in which a source of information is cited without disclosure of their identity, distinguished from attributed sourcing by the intentional concealment of the source's name to protect them from potential harm or reprisal while still contributing to the verification and reporting of newsworthy events.
