Ranking: Poor. Details of Findings: The corrections page has links to original stories with corrections. The corrections page also gives you a link to contact the editor. The corrections page offers archived corrections. The owner information can be found, but it is difficult to find.  It takes more than two clicks or is linked to or from an obscure address.  Site’s pages may be copyrighted to an owner, but no information about the owner is linked. There is no information provided through the web site or outside web sites. There is a vague statement about style of reporting. There is a relationship shown to the parent company, but no direct references to codes/policies for the specific news outlet. There were no News Values anywhere on the web site or on the Google search. Even prolonged searches on search engines like Google returned no relevant results and instead, returned stories with the phrase “News Values” in them instead of actual News Values.
