- Who is the Protecting Sources poster for?
- Protecting Sources belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning media law & ethics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Protecting Sources poster?
- Before promising confidentiality to anyone, not after they have spoken. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Protecting Sources belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Protecting Sources?
- AI in the Newsroom, Conflicts of Interest and Reporting Courts sit alongside Protecting Sources in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AI in the NewsroomConflicts of InterestReporting Courts
- Is the Protecting Sources poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Protecting Sources downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Communications & Media section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Protecting Sources poster print at?
- Protecting Sources is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Protecting Sources loses nothing.Printing guide
