Below all of the SEO/social metadata, default to showing a single set of form fields for one source. Below that, add a + add source button that appends another set of form fields.

Fields are:

All fields except name are optional, but one of contact email/phone number must be submitted.

On publish, if no sources are available, show an alert window warning users they are trying to submit a story with no sources. They can continue, but we want this extra bit of friction.

@TylerFisher I'm wondering if the "prefer to self-describe" option makes sense in this context? Also, would something akin to "not sure", "unknown", and/or "other" make sense for a reporter who's describing a source's ethnicity (or race, or gender, etc)?

The fields with <select> options are not required, so perhaps omitting is the way of saying you don't know or "other"?

Ah, yeah, prefer to self-describe doesn't make much sense here. Let's go with "Other".
