“To achieve this, I believe we must take swift, co-ordinated action when violence occurs. But we must also be proactive by addressing early warning signs as they emerge and, better yet, by fostering positive behaviour from the start.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
