A desk byline names a beat of the Comal.News newsroom, not a person. Stories under it follow the same editorial standards as every Comal.News story.
Comal.News practices AI-enhanced journalism. AI assists with reading, drafting, and verification, and every draft is checked against the original documents and the editorial rules in our editorial standards before it publishes. Every published claim links back to its source.
Back to topHow its stories are sourced
- Primary records first. The original agenda, filing, contract, dataset, recording, or firsthand account, not someone else’s summary.
- Collected public records. Software checks records Comal County governments have already published (meeting agendas and packets, press releases, public notices, purchasing and bid pages, orders and resolutions, court dockets, and emergency alerts) and preserves each one unchanged, with the address and time it was collected.
- Meetings and votes. Outcomes are confirmed against minutes, video, vote records, contracts, or signed instruments.
- Evidence shown. Stories link the records they rely on, explain calculations, and say when the available evidence has limits.
