Rejected petition Make the media use Harvard referencing to declare their information sources.

The media (newspapers, internet articles, tv) report issues without declaring where they got the information.
This allows incorrect information to be passed off as fact, leading to misinformation.
Harvard referencing is a method used in research papers to outline where information was sourced.
