Description

Require nonempty itemId, originalPublisher, and sourceReference, then format a syndication credit naming the supplied original publisher.

Media records preserve supplied credits, ownership labels, publication dates, corrections, and source details. A formatted record or elapsed-time calculation does not verify the underlying claim or grant reuse rights.

Require nonempty itemId, originalPublisher, and sourceReference, then format a syndication credit naming the supplied original publisher.

Limitations and assumptions

  • The source reference is not checked as a URL or a license; a credit line alone does not grant redistribution rights or establish provenance.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Check the original publication, source evidence, and applicable editorial or rights policy separately.
