Field notes
The homepage groups fictional pieces under recurring labels including “Anonymous Sources Say” and “Sunday Minefields.” Headlines target familiar newsroom habits: elongated investigations, unverified sourcing, delayed records responses, and charts presented with convenient axes. The footer states that all articles, people, quotes, and bylines are fictional, and names the real publication it parodies while disclaiming affiliation.
