Field notes
The homepage describes a town-by-town reporting model and says stories link back to their source records. Its Belleview example identifies city commission, budget, and growth as coverage areas. The page also gives separate email addresses for questions and corrections and links to an About and corrections policy; the supplied extract does not include a sample story.
