Useful context. Clear boundaries.

Define the question

Separate events, interpretations, forecasts and promises. Identify the question a source could answer. Do not convert a proposed mechanism into an operating result.

Show the source

Record title, publisher, URL, source status, source date and editorial inspection date. Keep unknown values unknown. Distinguish the publication’s analysis from the source’s statement.

Separate reporting and promotion

Explainers define a subject. Analysis interprets a stated body of evidence. Source guides identify original records. Advertisements carry a separate commercial label.

Correct the record

Corrections identify the affected statement, the evidence supporting a revision and any change to the conclusion. A page address and public source can be submitted through the contact form.
