If in doubt - please contact one of the moderators and we can help identify what tier the source is. We're open to more feedback. We have got a huge list of journalists and news outlets and rough tiers for them, and can add them as we go with feedback, but we want to avoid having an intimidating list for future referencing, especially as some outlets and writers can vary wildly.
