Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
This piece stands on a single source. A fact from one newsroom is a witness on the record, so this desk publishes it labelled rather than holding it. Only an echo is held: one report carried by many outlets that all trace to one origin is not a second source. A first-party instrument reading of the same subject corroborates it.
