How this newsroom works: Political News Now
Political News Now reports on contested power, and this policy sets out how readers can check what they are told.
Documents and claims
Official records, rulings, ballot results and statements are source types a reader can inspect.
The existence of a record does not establish every interpretation made from it.
Coverage labels
News, analysis and opinion are distinct formats; a label describes the format rather than proving a claim.
A headline is not evidence by itself.
Reader records and corrections
Readers can use the contact form to identify an exact page, passage and supporting record.
A submitted request is not evidence by itself.
Accounts behind the file
Observed WordPress author labels are withheld while the person behind an account remains unattested.
An account name does not establish a biography, portrait, role or field of expertise.
