On the Record

Dated promises, checked

When an official, an agency or a utility says in a story we publish that something will be done by a date, we put it on the record in their own words. When the date comes, we read the coverage since and say what it reports: done, late, a new date, or no report yet. Every promise links the story it came from.

How we keep the record

A promise goes on the record only when the story quotes it with a date we can hold it to: a day, a month, a quarter or a year. “Soon” and “in the coming months” do not count. Each day we read the coverage published since for every promise whose date has come. A status changes only when a later story says so in words we can quote; until then it reads “No report yet”. Statuses describe what the coverage reports, not why. Read how we work and our corrections policy.
