Headline check
The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
- “Logan” 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
A summary of ABC News’s report. The score is for the full 175-word report.
How calmly it was written
WAtoday, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and Brisbane Times also covered it; we only receive their summaries, so their writing is not scored here.
