Democracy Docket

20 audits on the record

Every sentence below was reproduced from a frozen snapshot of this masthead’s own page, at the character offset the audit records. This is what the desk has quoted from Democracy Docket — not a verdict on it.

These numbers are not a fault score. A hard contradiction means two accounts cannot both be true; it does not say which one is wrong, and this desk does not decide. A masthead appears in these counts because it covered a contested story, which is usually a sign it was doing its job. Outlets that publish more, and get read more, appear more. Read the counts as exposure, not as error.
