How the desk works
FTL is written by one editorial desk. Here is how a story or a country file gets onto the site.
Sources first
Every fact in a country file is logged with its source and a status: verified, reworded or to be rechecked. What cannot be checked is left out.
Reviewed before publication
Each article is reviewed against the sources and gets a go or no-go verdict before it is published. Stories that are not ready wait.
Corrections welcome
