Verification

How we verify what we publish

Every story begins with sourcing. We identify the origin of each claim, prefer primary documents and direct accounts, and record what we could not confirm. Reporters check figures against their original records, and editors review each piece for unsupported certainty before publication. We keep our reporting independent. Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom, and commercial or political interests do not set our coverage.

Where a detail remains unconfirmed, we label it as such in the story itself rather than leaving readers to guess.

Corrections

When we get something wrong

When an error is found, we correct it promptly and plainly. The correction states what was wrong, what the accurate information is, and when the change was made. Significant corrections are noted at the top of the story rather than quietly edited away.

We treat corrections as part of the record, not an embarrassment to hide. Readers who spot an error are invited to tell us, and we respond to every credible report.
