  value: The story uses titles, institutions, awards, rankings, partners, experts, or official language to make the subject feel more credible. Watch for loaded terms such as presumption of openness, matters of public concern since the 1200s, permanent searchable public record. The distribution reads as editorial reporting. A pressure point: No discussion of ADA Title II's requirement that courts modify procedures to ensure equal access for persons with disabilities.
