About Our Sources
Where In Hull uses a mixture of local tips, official information, public announcements, event listings, organisations’ own websites and other reliable sources to discover what is happening around Hull.
Feeds are alerts, not finished stories
RSS feeds and other automated sources can be useful for discovering a development quickly. They should not be treated as a licence to copy somebody else’s reporting or simply rewrite an article sentence by sentence.
Primary information
Where practical, we prefer to establish the underlying facts from the organisation, authority, club, venue, business or other primary source involved. More than one source may be used when a story warrants it.
Attribution
When information or reporting genuinely comes from another publisher or organisation, attribution and a useful source link should be provided where appropriate.
Uncertain information
If there is not enough reliable information to publish responsibly, we would rather leave a story out than fill the gaps with assumptions.
