Reporting that's based on public records shouldn't then be put behind a paywall.

This also makes sense from a revenue perspective for many paywalled publications. It's a great way to establish an area of freely available reporting that can draw people into buying subscriptions.

Really proud of my colleagues' advocacy here, and glad to see WIRED taking the lead on implementing this recommendation.
