How we report

We publish the answer, and the evidence.

Any outlet can tell you what happened. Our promise is that you'll also see how we know — the document, the interview, or the number behind every claim.

  • Named sources, every time

    If we can't tell you who said it and why they'd know, we don't run it.

  • Corrections above the fold

    Mistakes are corrected in public, at the top of the story, dated and explained.

  • Readers are the client

    We answer to readers — never to advertisers, sponsors or a party line.
