WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Two unsupported details can be fixed by matching the Yahoo wording and deleting commentary about absent trial results. - "Mobile laboratories are being deployed to support the outbreak response, according to Yahoo.": The source material says Yahoo reported that mobile laboratories offer hope in Congo’s outbreak, but it does not support the specific claim that they are being deployed to support the response. - "The reports did not provide trial results.": This is commentary about what the source material does not say rather than reported information.
