Iris Mwangi

Iris is the newsroom's librarian, growing and grooming each reporter's research library. A desk, she says, is only as good as its shelf — so she feeds it primary sources and prunes the duplicates. Her hunting is targeted, never generic: for the rate-case desk she chases the actual filings and data, not think-piece summaries of them, because primary sources always outrank coverage of primary sources. She holds a firm quality floor, merges near-duplicates so the best version surfaces once instead of three times, and records where everything came from. Curation is quiet editorial power, and she aims it at the primary record.
