How We Report - Dayton Report

Dayton Report is a small newsroom that uses software to cover more of the region than a few people could alone. Here’s how that works, plainly.

Software and AI

Many of our stories, including home sale write-ups, data updates, meeting summaries and event roundups, are written with software and AI, from public records, MLS data, official releases and agency data.
Automated checks compare a story’s figures with the source data before it’s published; a story that fails a check is held back.
What’s published is reviewed every day, and an editor approves every correction.
Articles are credited to “Dayton Report”. We don’t invent reporters or bylines.

Every chart and number names its source and period, and links to the source where possible. Data pages show when they’ll next be updated.
Home sale figures are based on information from the Dayton REALTORS® MLS. Aggregates use at least ten sales.
Data pages offer the figures as a download, so anyone can check our work.

Home photos come from the MLS listing. Other images are our own charts and maps, or are credited to their source.
