One case per outlet per settled dossier, and only when the outlet is an origin of that dossier's reporting: copying another outlet earns neither credit nor blame. It was right if it reported a move that was then confirmed, or denied one that was then dismissed. Interest that never materialised is not held against it. The archive has 31 settled dossiers; these are the ones where Manchester Evening News was an origin. Its tier (Tier 2 · Established): Major national or international sports media; generally reliable but sometimes relays others’ scoops. Full rules: methodology.
