"Source Attribution" gets a whole subtree in Linebarger's 1954 propanal scheme:

  a. Source
    (1) True source ("Where does it really come from?")
      (a) Release channel ("How did it come out?") if different from true source without concealing true source
      (b) Person or institution in whose name material originates
      (c) Transmitting channel ("Who got it to us?"), person or institution effecting known transmission—omitting, of course, analyst's own procurement facilities
    (2) Ostensible source ("Where does it pretend to come from?")
      (a) Release channel ("Who is supposed to be passing it along?")
    (3) First-use and second-use source (first use, "Who is said to have used this first?"; second use, "Who pretends to be quoting someone else?")
      (a) Connection between second-use source and first-use source, usually in the form of attributed or unacknowledged quotation; more rarely, plagiarism
      (b) Modification between use by first-use and second-use sources, when both are known
        (i) Deletions
        (ii) Changes in text
        (iii) Enclosure within editorial matter of transmitter
        (iv) Falsification which appears deliberate
        (v) Effects of translation from one language to another

(nb a.3.b.iv suggests "fake news" is not a recent phenomenon; indeed, Linebarger's book provides biblical examples)
