Verification & Fact-Checking

Our verification process prioritizes direct documentation, identifiable firsthand sources, corroboration and clear attribution. Screenshots and social posts may require additional confirmation; virality alone is not proof.

Unconfirmed information

Unverified claims should be presented as such, with limitations and uncertainties explained. Anonymous sourcing should be used only when editorially justified and should not conceal a source’s interests.

After publication

New information may require an update, clarification or correction. Readers can submit an accuracy concern.
