Method

How we report

A source-first method that distinguishes what is known from what still needs an answer.

Facts

We state confirmed facts plainly and distinguish them from analysis, allegations, and opinion.

Sources

We identify and link the documents, records, interviews, and public statements supporting material claims whenever it is safe and lawful to do so.

Unknowns

We name unanswered questions and missing records instead of filling gaps with assumptions.

Context

We explain the timeline, rules, money, and prior decisions needed to understand a current event.

Corrections

We correct material errors openly and preserve a clear record of significant changes.

Public participation

Readers may point us toward records and questions. A suggestion is a lead, not proof; it must be independently checked.
