Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article is mostly accurate. The core claim about Anna Paulson being named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia is verifiable, although the provided sources don't directly confirm this specific appointment. The article appears to be neutral in its reporting.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has chosen Anna Paulson to serve as its next president.
- Verification Source #1: States Anna Paulson is an executive vice president and the Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. This doesn't directly confirm the new appointment but establishes her position at another Federal Reserve Bank.
- Verification Source #2: Lists an "Anna Paulson Associate Economist" but this is likely a different person.
- Verification Source #3: Identifies Anna Paulson as a vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2010.
- Verification Source #4: Lists an email address for Anna Paulson.
- Verification Source #5: Mentions research projects at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
- *Analysis:* While none of the provided sources *directly* confirm the appointment as president of the Philadelphia Fed, they establish Anna Paulson's high-ranking position within the Federal Reserve system, specifically at the Chicago Fed. This makes the claim plausible. Without a direct confirmation from the provided sources, I am relying on the assumption that ABC News is a generally reliable source for such announcements.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- Verification Source #1: Supports the claim that Anna Paulson is a high-ranking official within the Federal Reserve system.
- Verification Source #3: Supports the claim that Anna Paulson was a vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in the past.
- Lack of Coverage: None of the provided sources directly confirm the appointment as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
