Section D · Our Newsroom
The mastheadReporters first. Marketers never.
Four editorial disciplines: assignment, reporting, research and fact-checking. Each draft has clear responsibilities before it reaches your review team.
Four desks carry a story from reporting through final review, with clear responsibilities at every stage.
The editorial desks
Reporting desk
Interviews sources and traces every number to a document.
Research editor
Checks methodology, source tables and the limits of the evidence.
Fact-checking desk
Verifies the draft before client compliance review.
Human in the loop
Who does the work
Each assignment brings together reporting, editing, research and design. Specialist contributors follow the same source memo and review process as the rest of the desk.
Every piece names its writer, editor and fact-checker in the draft. Your team always knows who touched the copy.
