At Facts Check, all content is based on a single simple idea: readers deserve information they can trust.
In a digital world when allegations, headlines, and viral stories spread quicker than ever before, accuracy is more crucial than speed. Our goal is to disseminate research and verified and responsibly presented information so that readers may distinguish fact from falsehood.
Our Accuracy Promise is a pledge to transparency and accountability in our work and continued development. We want to ensure the information we publish is accurate at the time of publication, but we know journalism is a process and mistakes happen.
How We Verify Accuracy
Our editorial team is dedicated to verifying the accuracy of articles before publication:
- Check the Facts Using Reliable and Credible Sources.
- Wherever possible, verify the information.
- Vet claims carefully before publishing.
- Add context that lets readers see the whole picture.
- Update the content when new, important information is available.
Accuracy is not something we can do once and for all. It is a daily commitment that affects everything we publish.
When Errors are Found
No newsroom is without errors. It’s about how you deal with those mistakes.
If an article has erroneous, out-of-date, incomplete, or misleading material, we will investigate and amend the article as we deem fit. We will, depending on the nature of the issue:
- Fix factual inaccuracies.
- Add clarifications or add extra context.
- Update information that has changed.
- Change headlines or phrases that can confuse.
- If a major correction is required, add an editor’s note.
It is always our goal to deliver the most accurate and dependable information to our readers.
Updates and Revisions
New evidence can come to light, or events can change. That’s why some articles could be amended after publication. Minor modifications ( spelling, punctuation, formatting, or stylistic ) may be made without formal notice as deemed appropriate by the publisher without changing the content. Where considerable revisions are needed, we try to make them clearly and as soon as feasible.
