MAP CONTEXT™

Source Context Reports

Not available yet. MAP does not profile, score or rate sources.

Source Context Reports are an idea for a future module: profiles of the sources a story cites. MAP does not offer them today, and MAP does not score or rate sources or publishers.

What exists is the part of a single-URL MAP record that describes how one page attributes and links to its sources.

WHAT EXISTS TODAY (PER URL)
ORIGIN

Publisher and author as documented

Publisher, author and publish date taken from the page's metadata and structured data where available. MAP reports what is documented, not whether the source is reputable.

Available · automated extraction
ATTRIBUTION

Attribution phrasing

Structural phrasing patterns associated with attributed claims (“according to,” “officials state”) and outbound references to named sources. MAP does not identify who a source is or check what a source said.

INFORMATION RELATIONSHIPS

Outbound references

Links from the page to other domains, shown as clickable material. MAP does not vouch for what is on the other end.

SOURCE PROFILES

Source identification, past reporting and networks

MAP does not profile the people or organizations a story cites. It keeps no history of past reporting or accuracy for any source or publisher, does not follow corrections to stories, and does not map which outlets cite which sources.

HOW TO READ THIS

A record can show that a page uses attribution language and links to other domains. It cannot tell you whether those sources are reliable or accurate. That judgment stays with the reader.
