One of the things we got the BBC to do that still stands out from many other "news sources" today is they link their sources where applicable.

Part way down this story, for example, they link https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/S1934-5909(18)3...

So, there you go, an actual journal article whose authors claim they did this.

They try and boil it down for the lay person, but often fail. It's nice that as you say they at least they include the sources.

The article itself seems pretty accurate.

The budget cuts and (resulting?) move to "clickbait" articles and reporting has started to show pretty badly in the last year or two, the amount of basic errors and typos they let through is definitely far higher than it used to be.
