I’d put them in a different structure, perhaps, depending on what you want to achieve.

If it’s just this list that you want: Remove all line breaks and tabs, lead all quotation marks with a backslash (\") and put that complete one line of code in:

targetElement.innerHTML = "your Code here";

More flexible:

var newsSources = [

“id”:“washington_post”,
“name”:“Washington Post”,

I didn’t use the code block because it can’t handle \".
In < img and < a you have to remove the space.
id = image name, you’ll have to adapt a little, I wrote them in a more uniform style.
alt = could be the same as the name, but I put it in as you varied a little with your alt titles.

Oh, by the way:
Seems like this could also be a good case for a template system.
