       According to Shoemaker (1996) and McQuail (1994), there are a
       multitude of factors that tend to condition the acceptance of
       sources as bona fide by investigative journalists. Reporters are
       expected to develop and cultivate sources, especially if they
       regularly cover a specific topic, known as a "beat". Beat
       reporters must, however, be cautious of becoming too close to
       their sources. Reporters often, but not always, give greater
       leeway to sources with little experience. For example, sometimes
       a person will say they don't want to talk, and then proceed to
       talk; if that person is not a public figure, reporters are less
       likely to use that information. Journalists are also encouraged
       to be skeptical without being cynical as per the saying "If your
       mother says she loves you, check it out." popularized by the
       City News Bureau of Chicago.[1] As a rule of thumb, but
       especially when reporting on controversy, reporters are expected
       to use multiple sources.
