Fact-Checking Policy

Writers must be precise with their words, titles, and links. They must understand that words are powerful and should use them responsibly. In doing so,  reporters must verify the information they gather. This includes identifying information such as names and positions, but also includes factual statements and accounts. Writers conduct their own fact-checking using their own judgment guided by the ethics policy. Hashtag Media will use fact-checkers in certain circumstances it deems warranted.
