How we cut the noise
The noise is everything between you and the fact: the outrage, the anonymous sources, the ten paragraphs with one paragraph of information. Here is what we do instead.
We choose.
A story runs because it matters, not to fill space. Some days a section runs short.
We keep things distinct.
A proposal is not a law. An allegation is not a finding. A forecast is not an outcome.
We say who said it.
Every claim is attributed, all the way through the story.
We apply one standard.
To the press, the government, companies and activists on every side.
