Source Transparency
Whenever legally and ethically possible, we identify the sources used in our reporting. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and after editorial approval.
AI and Automation
Artificial intelligence tools may assist with research or language support, but editorial decisions, verification, and publication are made by human editors.
Corrections and Updates
If new evidence becomes available after publication, we update the article and clearly indicate the revision.
Reader Requests
Readers may submit claims for review by contacting our editorial team. Every request is evaluated based on newsworthiness, public interest, and the availability of verifiable evidence.
Independence
Our fact-checking process is independent of advertisers, political parties, advocacy groups, and commercial interests.
Accuracy—not ideology or commercial influence—guides our editorial decisions.
