1. Hash the record: sha256sum headline-bc1094e54e36.json prints bc1094e54e360afd5cb611fc4a297e7611d3ba9ea08b1766bb8b453c48b843cb. Its first twelve characters are the end of this record's address.
2. Drop headline-bc1094e54e36.json and headline-bc1094e54e36.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-bc1094e54e36.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.
