At Off the Front Page, we take accuracy seriously. Our readers trust us to share clear, truthful, and well-checked information. This policy explains how we make sure what we publish is factually solid and transparent.
Checking Facts Before Publishing
Before we publish any story, we double-check every fact, number, and quote. Writers confirm their sources, and editors review everything again. We use reliable sources like:
- Official records or government data
- Company reports and press releases
- Research from respected institutions
- Verified interviews or statements from experts
- Reporting from trusted media outlets
If something can’t be confirmed, we either leave it out or make it clear that it’s unverified or based on opinion.
Using Anonymous Sources
We almost never use anonymous sources, but if we do, we make sure their identity and information are verified by editors. We also explain why anonymity is necessary and back up their claims with other evidence.
Fixing Mistakes
If we make an error, we correct it fast.
- Small fixes (like typos or minor details) are quietly updated in the article.
- Big corrections (like wrong numbers or quotes) are clearly noted at the bottom of the story with the date and what was corrected.
If you spot an error, please let us know at offthefrontpage@protonmail.com.
Where We Get Information
We don’t rely on random social media posts or rumors. If we use social media content, we confirm who posted it and that it’s real. Everything we publish must come from a credible, verifiable source.
Facts vs. Opinions
Opinion pieces are clearly marked. Even when writers share their views, their arguments must be supported by verified facts.
Using AI Tools
AI may help with research or drafting, but every article is checked and edited by a real person before it’s published. We never publish AI-generated content without human review.
Being Open With Readers
We believe readers deserve to know where our information comes from. Whenever we can, we include links to official documents, data, or statements so you can check the facts for yourself.
