In undergrad, I was a broadcast journalism major. In the second major class I took was Media Writing, the professor said the only way one should use an anonymous source is if they had 3 other credible sources to back up what the anonymous source said. Basically, use the anonymous source as a lead-type source.

Ya'll are good to catch onto the anonymous sources not being very credible. If they wouldn't expose their names, who's not to say the author isn't just writing a fictional story?

Damasa, I'll help ya but let me read it first!
