How it works

  1. 1

    Two sources, or it waits

    A story needs confirmation from two independent outlets before it runs.

  2. 2

    Every claim is linked

    Each edition lists its sources, so you can check the work yourself.

  3. 3

    Corrections in the open

    If we get something wrong we fix it in public, and the archive is never quietly edited.
