Field notes
The homepage separates investigations, receipts, documentaries, politicians, and topic beats, then places dated items in a running wire. Each entry names a person or institution and often points to outside reporting; the lead also links to a report PDF. The issue masthead reads “Vol. I, No. 1” and carries a Washington, D.C. dateline, while the site labels its updates “Receipts daily, sources attached.”
