We write our stories in our own words, based on public sources like government records, official announcements, meeting agendas, and police reports. We cite and link those sources so you can check them yourself.
We use AI tools to assist our work. Every story is reviewed and approved by an editor before publishing.
Every story is fact-checked before publishing. We take extra care with police and public safety reports. We stick to what official records say, and we don't guess or fill in details.
We only use photos that we took ourselves, that are in the public domain, or that we have a license or permission to use. We credit photos where it applies.
We try to get it right, but if we get something wrong, we'll fix it. Corrections are noted on the story so readers can see what changed. To report an error, email [email protected] with a link to the story and what needs fixing.
