Headline check

One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Araujo” 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. One name in this headline is spelled almost the same as a word in the report — the difference between a country and its adjective, for instance. We cannot tell whether they are the same thing, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked
