The Los Angeles Times's original news report, published 15 July 2007, on the Archdiocese of Los Angeles's agreement to pay 660 million dollars to 508 claimants, reached two days before the first abuse trial was to begin, stating the payment breakdown among the archdiocese, its insurers and religious orders and the number of accused named across the claims.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: contemporaneous reporting by the newspaper of record for the archdiocese's own metropolitan area, naming the presiding judge, the payment breakdown and the number of accused, cross checked against wire coverage of the same settlement. NotesTier 2: the fullest contemporaneous account of the settlement's payment breakdown and the scope of claims it resolved, useful alongside the wire report's confirmation of the presiding judge and the court's approval.
