1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-644cebc23dd6.json prints 644cebc23dd6be91b49077760218c179b3e4b2ba8df1afc13519556ca928a542. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
2. Drop headline-644cebc23dd6.json and headline-644cebc23dd6.json.ots onto opentimestamps.org, which checks the receipt against the Bitcoin block chain. Or, with the OpenTimestamps client and a Bitcoin node: ots verify headline-644cebc23dd6.json.ots (ots upgrade first while the receipt is pending).
3. Open the Wayback Machine's captures above: the capture of the record page shows this hash as it stood then, and the capture of the story page shows the newsroom's own page.
