Public record

Accountability

When we say we will follow a story, we publish the deadline. When we get something wrong, we say so here. Most outlets do neither.

Every open commitment, with the date we owe you an answer. If a countdown hits zero and nothing appears, hold us to it.

Every correction we have issued, permanently. Originals stay up with a visible note. We never silently delete.

Numbers we track quarterly so the trend is visible, not just the headline.

Why this index exists

Ghana announces galamsey arrests regularly. Convictions are announced far less often. Nobody publishes the ratio.

We will — every quarter, with sources. If the number is bad, that is the story. If we are wrong, correct us at [email protected].
