Accuracy standards (as we test today)

1) Primary and official sources

contacting press offices or interested parties when necessary.

2) Multiple feedback

Before publishing, we compare information with multiple sources (when available),
to avoid errors due to incomplete reconstructions or unconfirmed entries.

3) Context and completeness

We insert context (dates, places, subjects involved) and clearly distinguish between facts,
statements and reconstructions, avoiding titles or summaries that alter the meaning of the contents.

4) Verification of images and social content

Content from social networks or third parties is treated with caution: we verify the origin,
dating, consistency with facts and consistency with reliable sources.

Uncertified social media accounts or channels are not considered reliable sources.
known for spreading fake news.

5) Traceability and transparency

Where appropriate, we provide verifiable references and update the article if new information emerges.
clarifications or denials, maintaining the goal of clarity towards readers.

If an error or incomplete information is detected, we intervene with corrections and rectifications,
