Fact-Checking Policy

Before publication, factual claims should be checked against suitable evidence such as official records, primary documents, direct statements, or credible reporting. The level of verification should match the importance and potential impact of the claim.

Developing Stories

Breaking information may change quickly. Articles should identify what is known, what remains unconfirmed, and when the information was last updated.

Sources and Conflicts

Anonymous or second-hand claims require additional care. Contributors should disclose material conflicts that could affect coverage. Promotional claims should not be presented as independent findings.

Reader Corrections

Readers can report a possible error by emailing isabela61738227@gmail.com with a link and supporting evidence.
