2. It's a clearinghouse for articles. |
|
Mostly it's altweeklies who post articles to that site in hopes that other pubs will license reprint rights. The reliability of anything you find there depends on how good the editor, reporter and factchecker at the originating publication are. It's not a news source in its own right.

A lot of the time they re-publish stories from other news sources, Good sources, but it's not always original content, just a heads up.

8. As others have noted, it is a compendium of others' work, so to be "accurate" you need to cite |
|
the original source, author, and publisher.
Make up your own mind about each as you contemplate them.
