Payload Report newsroom desks

The Payload Report newsroom is organised into 5 desks. Each desk follows its own beat and sources, and its name appears as the byline on the articles it produces. A desk is a working unit of the newsroom, not an individual journalist; articles are drafted with AI assistance and checked against their sources, as the editorial policy explains.
