It surprises me that any remotely legitimate media outlet would unequivocally hold that a show's been cancelled without any kind of official statement from the network. But then again, not too many legitimate media outlet's would use language like, "the freshman drama has been brutally cancelled by ABC." For one, "has been" implies it's an official fait accompli (again, with no on-the-record confirmation).
Though Emergence may very well get cancelled, without an official announcement, there's still a chance that it can have a new life on Freeform or Hulu.
