Preparing the published article.
Reading Robotics News: Announcements, Company Posts and Media Reports
The three source types carry different weight. Mixing them leads to wrong conclusions.
Three source types
Official announcements and government documents are first-hand. Company posts (websites, exhibitions) are statements by an interested party. Media reports are most likely to lose qualifying conditions.
How to use them
Use media to spot direction; go back to the primary source before treating anything as fact. Always note the source and date for figures on revenue, capacity or market share.
Our practice
Sources and publication dates are labelled, and unverified statements are marked as being under review.
