The best thing is to consider the source. News agencies are important because they have reporters in many places where news happens. Some news agencies may well be more reliable than others. Reuters has a large worldwide organization. AP as a consortium of mostly American news outlets may have better reach within the USA. So judgement from reading sources over time comes into play. The BBC isn't exactly a news agency, but has more reporters in various parts of the world than any other news organization. I never used to pay attention to the bylines of newspaper reports, but now I do because there are some reporters who have very high standards of practice.
Using your own judgment is important while reading the news. But it doesn't seem to make sense not to put some weight behind reporters close to where the news happens, and who are able to interview witnesses and players in the news. When in doubt about a story it's possible to compare how different news organizations cover the same story. Almost always there are some area, a framework, wich is common to them all; and probably close to the facts on the ground.
