Source ledger

Tynwald

Parliamentary business

Government

Public notices, FOI and procurement

Reader verification ladder

A compact trust path for readers who need to move from a briefing item to a confident next action.

1 · Identify

Name the source type first

Each item should be readable as reporting, Tynwald, government, FOI, tender, event, weather, tide, travel or commercial context before the reader opens another tab.

2 · Confirm

Follow the authoritative route

Use the original outlet or public record for claims, dates, deadlines, safety notes and official wording. Secondary guides are for context, not final authority.

3 · Act

Choose the safe next step

After checking the source, readers can quote it, respond to a consultation, plan travel, send a correction, share the public route or subscribe for tomorrow.

Recommended source directory

High-value sources from the May 2026 audit, grouped by the job they serve in the newsletter and website. Weak or stale sources are deliberately excluded from the main directory.

Source groups to monitor

Use these groups when adding newsletter sections, topic pages or daily checks. Link to source pages; do not copy protected text or images.

Freshness and correction route

Daily checks are published to the site, and reader corrections go to the Moghrey Mie mailbox for review and reply.

Daily checks

  • Latest issue is published to the web archive after the newsletter send.
  • Original links are preserved wherever the source data provides them.
  • Government, FOI, tender and Tynwald items are rewritten for scanability, not hidden behind raw URLs.
  • Website smoke tests check generated pages on desktop and mobile.

Corrections mailbox

Readers can report a missing link, unreadable source, wrong deadline, unclear agenda item or factual correction. Corrections go to [email protected], not a personal inbox.
