Abstract

Research on information sources is an important issue in news and information analysis. Daily newspaper news is a type of news that requires high verifi cation by sources. However, news is still published without sources. Therefore, a study that covers daily newspaper news for a certain period of time and determines the actual situation is necessary. In this article, a sample of daily newspaper news was analyzed using content analysis to clarify the practical situation of newspaper news sources. Previous studies have aimed to solve theoretical-practical problems, but have not suffi ciently determined what the reality is. Most studies have deviated from the issue of pure journalistic information verifi cation by distinguishing between permanent and occasional sources, studying cultural groups, competitors, and their public relations. When studying the sources of daily newspapers, the sample was analyzed using the following coders: topic, short and detailed news, and news with and without sources. In terms of sources, the two Mongolian newspapers have high quality indicators, but there is a need to pay attention to the issue of short news stories and news that do not cite sources. While there is a growing trend in Chinese newspapers to report news with professional accountability, ideologically driven state news sources and news source networks have a strong negative impact. The results of the study show that while the responsibility to verify the source of news in daily newspapers is increasing, some problems such as this still exist.
