Hash the record: sha256sum headline-8bbd380f7d28.json prints 8bbd380f7d284ec91e547fd09a7b230b2d3917f38fbd156ee78b9c824ec05b5c. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
Drop headline-8bbd380f7d28.json and headline-8bbd380f7d28.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-8bbd380f7d28.json.ots (ots upgrade first while the receipt is pending).
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.
If someone shows you this front page as it was, hash it: sha256sum prints a4719a794cdc413ca1eef39bfed8af109921f44f584499f285a8912df6e4569f for the page this site kept 2026-10-11 01:31 UTC. The hash is a line of manifest #1256, and the manifest's receipt proves the manifest existed by Bitcoin block 970857: with both saved, ots verify manifest-1256.txt.ots.
If someone shows you this site’s picture of that page (the Wayback Machine’s copy of this record page may hold it), hash it: sha256sum prints 3a69f66581a92a1d06c260fb24c299600dde39d69de3462c5ec5c0593f307440. That hash is a line of manifest #1257, beside the hash of the page it pictures, and the manifest’s receipt proves when it existed.
