Why we fact-check
Speed never outranks accuracy at News One USA. Every article we publish goes through verification steps proportionate to the claim being made, and this page explains how that checking works.
How we verify
- Primary sources first. Official statements, court filings, government data, company releases and direct recordings are preferred over second-hand summaries.
- Cross-checking. Key facts — names, dates, figures, scores and quotes — are checked against at least one additional reliable source where one exists.
- Named attribution. Claims are attributed to the person or organisation that made them, so readers can judge the source for themselves.
- Unconfirmed reports are labelled. If information is still developing or comes from a single source, the article says so openly rather than stating it as fact.
- Images. Photos must genuinely relate to the story they illustrate and come from sources with the right to publish them; we do not use fabricated or misleading imagery.
What we do not publish
We do not publish unverified social-media claims, anonymous allegations presented as fact, or statistics without a named source. If a widely reported claim cannot be verified, we either leave it out or report clearly that it is unverified and who is claiming it.
When we get it wrong
Errors that slip through are handled under our Corrections Policy: they are fixed promptly and, when significant, the correction is noted in the article. Readers can flag a possible error through our Contact page.
