Fact‑Checking Policy
Last updated: August 16, 2025
Mission
Our mission is to deliver accurate, fair and contextual journalism. We verify facts before publication and correct them promptly when necessary.
Methodology
- Source hierarchy: We prioritize primary documents, official records, peer‑reviewed research and on‑the‑record expert interviews.
- Independent confirmation: For sensitive or breaking claims, we seek at least two independent confirmations.
- Transparency: We link to underlying materials whenever possible so readers can check our work.
- Updates: We timestamp significant updates and explain what changed.
Independence & Conflicts
Editors and reporters must disclose potential conflicts of interest and may be reassigned accordingly. Our newsroom operates separately from advertisers and sponsors.
Labeling
- News vs. analysis vs. opinion: We label analysis and opinion pieces clearly so readers can distinguish them from straight news.
- Wire & third‑party content: We credit the provider and note any edits we make.
Corrections
We strive to correct errors quickly. When we do, we add a timestamped note at the bottom of the article. See our Corrections Policy for details.
Reader Tips
If you find a mistake or have a news tip, email [email protected]. We review every credible report.
Standards We Look To
Our practices draw on internationally recognized journalism ethics guidelines and fact‑checking codes of conduct.
