SunshineFM is built to be cited. This page defines how we label information and link sources.

Three labels

Reported facts — Statements directly supported by a SunshineFM transcript or a linked external source. Interpretation — Reasoned conclusions based on reported facts. Written as interpretation, not disguised as fact. Speculation — Hypotheses about what might happen next. Always explicitly labeled.

Minimum requirements per Intelligence Brief

  • Link to the corresponding raw transcript at /transcripts/pages/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM
  • Include a Citeable Claims section — specific facts with dates, dollar figures, company names, and local context
  • Include named entities — people, organizations, places — spelled correctly and in full
  • If an external source is referenced, include a direct link in a Sources section

External sources

If a brief references an external article, report, or dataset, include a direct link. Do not paraphrase without attribution.

What SunshineFM does not do

  • Publish claims without a source basis
  • Present interpretation as reported fact
  • Delete corrections silently — see Corrections
