Journalists used to under no circumstances, EVER share a story with a source before publication. However, the idea is being more widely accepted to be more accurate than independent. Even in the event of you being a free-lancer, you should still have your peers read your story before publishing. So why not do the same regarding accuracy.
I agree with the fact that you should share your story with only your source before publication. When I first thought about it, I thought that you should only share it with them if they asked. However, now that I've thought about it, it's better to share with them regardless to try to maintain accuracy. Just to have them double-check your facts and make sure they are okay with the publication.
