Headline check
Headline as published: Kangaroos thrash Swans as Demons, Eagles claim crucial wins
One of the three things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
- “Eagles” is named 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. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” 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 424-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.
Also covered by The West Australian. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
