'Attribution' in journalism jargon means :
Answer: A
Attribution means telling readers where the information in a news story comes from.
A reporter attributes a fact or quotation by naming its source, as in 'police said' or 'according to the Census report'. Attribution lets readers judge the reliability of the information and makes clear which statements are the source's claims rather than the reporter's own.
The option on a source who does not want to be identified describes anonymous sourcing, which is a weaker form of attribution, not its meaning. Acknowledging the reporter is a byline or credit line, and an editor writing a story has nothing to do with the term.
