Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Describe the differences between the four types of source attributions. On the record comments are open to printing verbatim, off the record comments are not subject to print, on background comments are subject to print but not with attribution, and deep background comments are completely unsourced with no indication of an origin.
2. Note that reporters must deal ethically with sources or they will find that these and other sources will dry up very quickly.
