Fact-Check Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Every article published on Global Alfa News is subject to a fact-checking process proportionate to the sensitivity and scope of the piece.
1. Pre-Publication Checks
- Names, titles, and organisational affiliations are verified against primary sources.
- Dates, statistics, and financial figures are checked against the originating document (official filing, published dataset, or press release).
- Direct quotes are cross-checked against recordings, transcripts, or contemporaneous notes.
- Historical claims are verified against at least one authoritative reference.
2. Sourcing Standards
We prefer primary sources (official documents, on-the-record interviews, direct observation) over secondary reporting. Where we rely on another outlet's reporting, we say so and link to it.
3. Handling Disputed Claims
Where a factual claim is contested, we present the disagreement transparently, name the parties, and let readers see the evidence on each side.
4. Post-Publication Verification
If a reader identifies a factual issue after publication, we investigate promptly under our Corrections Policy.
5. Third-Party Fact-Check Requests
We welcome requests from established fact-checking organisations to review our work. Please contact info@globalalfanews.com.
