The Trump administration's 'Make America Health Again' Commission report was found to contain numerous citation errors, some referencing sources that do not exist. This investigation was first reported by NOTUS, conducted by reporters Emily Kennard and Margaret Manto. Manto, who has a science background, expresses her passion for reporting on health and science, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful journalism. NOTUS, founded in 2023, grew from a small team to a larger collaborative newsroom, enhancing its reporting capabilities in Washington, D.C.
Manto and Kennard had spent a week going through the over 500 footnotes in the MAHA report, revealing a number of citations riddled with errors, including nonexistent sources.
Managing editor Kate Nocera stated that NOTUS is the most collaborative newsroom she's worked in, highlighting the growth from two to twelve staff reporters after the launch.
