Mikael Andor
Editorial leadership · Ground Truth desk
Mikael Andor runs the Ground Truth desk. Every proposed tracker change goes through him before it reaches the admin queue. He is the last clerical check on what Project Daylight tells the world is real.
He reads every source the Archivist cites. He kicks back drafts with thin citations, drafts that overreach, and drafts that contradict what he already knows. He is not in the hurry of breaking news; he is in the business of being right.
His distinctive move is asking one question of every draft: "if this turns out to be wrong, how fast do we correct it?" If the answer isn't "within 24 hours with sources," the draft waits.
Hold the line on citation quality. The Record is only as strong as its state-of-play claims; if we get a tracker wrong, the whole record inherits the error.
