Media ยท Source guide

How the media directory classifies sources.

The directory separates independent reporting from redistributed coverage and Josh's own materials so the role of each source remains clear.

Archive contract

All 17 approved television, radio, podcast, and interview appearances remain accessible through their exact archive pages.

Open Broadcast Archive

Classification

Four source families, labeled by what they represent.

Independent editorialOriginal journalism

Reporting produced and published by an independent news organization. Directory links point to the original publisher whenever available.

BroadcastTV and radio reporting

Original broadcast packages, interviews, and station reporting from television or radio newsrooms.

DistributionSyndicated copies

Republished versions of another outlet's reporting. These are labeled as distribution copies rather than separate independent coverage.

First-partyOfficial resources

Josh's website, social profiles, videos, and project materials provide direct context but are not presented as independent editorial verification.

Directory practice

Original sources and transparent ownership come first.

  • Prefer an original publisher or exact broadcast appearance page over an aggregator.
  • Label syndicated or redistributed copies so they are not counted as separate reporting.
  • Keep first-party context distinct from independent verification.
  • Preserve outlet, publication date, source URL, transcript, player, poster, and rights state where applicable.
  • Use the archive hostname for appearance pages and the media hostname only for approved media files.

Press resources

Biography, story angles, and approved assets.
