The Ananova Source Library is a secure evidence archive used by accredited journalists and partner media organisations. It holds documents, data and background material that support their reporting and investigations.
The Source Library is not a browsable or searchable database. There is no public index of what it contains. Individual items can only be accessed:
- via a link inside an Ananova article or partner publication, or
- via a direct URL shared by an accredited journalist or partner outlet.
Every item in the Source Library has been uploaded and validated by the journalist or organisation responsible for it as a genuine and accurate document. The content and any claims made in those documents are the sole responsibility of the uploader.
The Source Library exists to provide transparency and proof-of-work for professional reporting, not to function as a general public records search.
To apply for access to upload documents to the Source Library, you need to be either:
- a publisher partner, or
- an accredited journalist and holder of an Ananova / NewsX Press Card.
You can find more information and apply via our press card platform at journo-lists.com.
Concerns or Objections
If you believe that a document in the Source Library is inaccurate, unlawful, infringes your rights, or should not be published for another serious reason, please contact us using our complaints or contact form, quoting the exact URL of the document.
We will review any properly submitted objection and may restrict access to, or remove, the document while we assess the issue. In many cases we will encourage you to resolve factual disputes directly with the journalist or media organisation that uploaded the material.
