  I still don’t get it. Nothing there says a spokesperson is not a source. Which is good because saying such a thing would make absolutely no sense.

    A corporate spokesperson spoke to them “on background”. A “corporate communications professional speaking to [them] in [their] official capacity“ has the option detailed in that section to request anonymity while being quoted.

    There must have been an agreement between The Verge and the corporate representative to speak without being identified beyond their affiliation with the company, as described In the section titled “on background”.

      Once again, not sure how any of this indicates that a spokesperson is not a source.

        “Nothing there said the spokesperson is not a source”

        They said in their statements that they wouldn’t identify a corporate spokesperson as a “source familiar”
