It follows liberal journalistic practice, putting emphasis on establishing facts and providing transparency with sources.
It has been used for research into the dynamics of online journalism; see the database entry of the editor, Lee Duffield: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/person/Duffield,_Lee.html
