Headline check

The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • The figure “24” is in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Figures are matched digit for digit, so a report that writes “forty per cent” out in words where the headline wrote “40%” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 392-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it

No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
