Our Process

Our coverage spans various topics, including politics, social media, the environment, and the intersection of media and technology. We are dedicated to verifying the accuracy of information across these vital areas, aiming to provide a balanced and thorough examination of claims that circulate within public discourse. Our mission extends to combating misinformation and ensuring that our audience receives factual content, whether the issue at hand relates to political discourse, digital communication, environmental concerns, or the evolving landscape of media and technology.

Research

We meticulously analyze transcripts and videos for statements presented as facts, aiming to uncover any inaccuracies or misleading content. Our fact-checking process involves in-depth research, incorporating both primary and secondary sources, along with a comprehensive literature review. If our investigation confirms the statement’s or information’s accuracy, the matter is considered resolved, reflecting our mission to diminish misinformation and confusion. If a claim lacks support or the evidence doesn’t show it’s true, we dig deeper. Our goal is to uncover the truth and cut down on confusion and misleading information, especially when it comes to false claims. This is how we help our audience in the UK understand what’s going on.

Editing

Before publication, each story undergoes a thorough review process to maintain its quality and integrity:

• Line Editing: Analyzes the story for clarity, context, and the precision of language used.
• Copy Editing: Confirms the story’s adherence to grammatical and stylistic standards.
• Fact-Checking: Diligently verifies every fact, statement, and conclusion with rigorous research to ensure accuracy.

Social Media Fact-checking

Guided by a commitment to independence, our team actively browses the internet to find and analyze false claims that are misleading and could potentially harm the audience that comes across them. This involves the whole process, from choosing topics to conducting thorough research, writing, and editing our articles, all done without influence from others or editorial control.

If new information significantly changes a published story’s content, we are committed to swiftly making clarifications, corrections, or updates. We will include a note for our readers explaining the change’s nature, its reason, and the date it was made.

Request a Correction

It is FactCheckUK.org’s policy to immediately correct any errors as soon as they are brought to our attention, whether by our staffers or our readers. In addition, if any new information comes to light after we publish a story that materially changes that story, we will clarify, correct, or update our story. In all cases, we will provide a note to readers that explains the change, why it was made, and the date it was made.
