How releases are found
UnGovr’s automated news monitoring searches Google News and the GDELT news database for each technology this site tracks and captures statements the parties publish themselves.

A release missing from this index is not evidence that none was issued, and inclusion records that a statement was published, not a finding about what it says. How the monitoring works
