1. We check facts, not opinions
The claim is reviewed to establish whether it is fact-checkable and/or constitutes hate speech, as opposed to the expression of an opinion.
3. We guarantee double verification
Every story is checked by two fact-checkers to mitigate individual bias and to ensure nothing was forgotten. The story is then reviewed and validated through the team lead.
5. We remain vigilant to new findings on fact-checked content
Based on new information or evidence that may appear on a fact-checked content, updates to the report may be conducted in line with the retraction policy.
2. We consult relevant sources and investigate all sides to the story
The sources consulted include first and foremost the drafter or quoted individual. Other sources consulted include public data and sources ranging from thematic experts to relevant authorities to ensure all sides of the story are investigated.
4. We publish our fact-checking report based on the available evidence at that point in time
The fact-checked content will be presented with the relevant rating alongside the narrative and references or proof that justifies it, based on the evidence existing at that point in time.
