InForum is a regional news outlet with a named correspondent and reports specific campaign-finance figures, while some totals rely on campaign statements because official updates were unavailable. The article itself provides limited evidence about the publisher’s correction practices.

• ▸Author attribution — The article names Mary Murphy and identifies her as a Minnesota state correspondent.
• ▸Transparency — It distinguishes official report availability from figures supplied by campaigns.
• ▸Correction history — No correction or corrections-policy information appears in the article.

The report gives concrete cash-on-hand figures, identifies the reporting period, and signals when figures came from campaigns rather than updated public filings. It offers little independent context about fundraising or the competing campaigns’ perspectives.
