How WAW Tracker works

A Tracker is created only after WAW detects reporting from at least 4 independent eligible outlets on the same clustered development. The WAW signal is calculated from source diversity and coverage velocity; it is not a claim that every reported detail has been independently verified.

WAW Tracker does not replace or claim the reporting of the credited publishers. Follow the source links above for each outlet’s original reporting.
