Anonymous by Design
We don't publish reporter names — not to hide, but to keep the focus on the reporting and to keep the newsroom independent of personalities and politics. We borrow this model from The Economist, which has published unsigned reporting since 1843.
In place of personality, we anchor accountability in our standards, our sources, and our corrections record — all published openly. See exactly how we work at
How We Report,
and our complete public log at
Corrections.
