Fact-Checking Policy

  1. Sources. We favor first-hand sources: official documents, public statements, direct witnesses and interviews conducted by our newsroom.
  2. Cross-checking. Sensitive information (violence, allegations, figures, official decisions) is confirmed by at least two independent sources or by a verifiable document before publication.
  3. Information from other outlets. When information comes from another outlet, we credit it and, where possible, add details verified by our newsroom.
  4. Photos and videos. We verify the origin, date and location of images circulating on social media before using them.
  5. Review. Every article is reviewed before publication; sensitive stories are approved by the editor-in-chief.
  6. Updates. On developing stories, the time of each update is shown and additions are flagged.
  7. Report an error. Think something we published is inaccurate? Email contact@hebdo24.com with a link to the article.
