The Press of Asia maintains a dedicated Fact Check and Standards Team responsible for verifying the accuracy of all content before and after publication. Our commitment to truth and transparency is at the core of our journalism.
What We Do
The Fact Check and Standards Team is responsible for:
- Pre-publication verification of facts, figures, and claims in all articles
- Monitoring post-publication accuracy and responding to correction requests
- Investigating complaints about content accuracy or editorial standards
- Ensuring compliance with our Editorial Policy and Corrections Policy
- Training editorial staff on verification best practices
How We Verify
Our fact-checking process involves cross-referencing claims with primary sources, official documents, and independent corroboration. We verify statistics, dates, names, and quotations before any story is published. When claims involve developing situations, we clearly note the status of our verification and update stories as more information becomes available.
Independent Verification
When we publish fact-check pieces or verification articles, we follow a transparent methodology: we identify the claim, check multiple independent sources, rate the accuracy, and explain our findings to readers. These pieces are clearly labeled as fact-check content.
