Trust is earned, not assumed. Here's exactly how we verify what we publish.
Our process:
Cross-verification — We confirm claims across multiple independent sources before publishing. A single source is never enough.
Primary evidence first — We prioritize official documents, court records, direct statements, and firsthand evidence over secondhand claims or rumor.
Clear separation of fact and opinion — Reporting and analysis are always labeled distinctly. You will always know which is which.
Named sources where possible — We cite organizations and publications by name (e.g. Human Rights Watch) so you can verify independently.
Public corrections — When we get something wrong, we say so — publicly, and as soon as we know. See our Corrections page for our track record.
What we will never do:
Publish unverified rumors as fact
Hide our sources when we can safely name them
Accept payment in exchange for coverage or silence
If you believe something we've published is inaccurate, contact us — we take corrections seriously.
