How We Verify

At Gist KE, our reputation is built on trust. Whether we are reporting on a shift in national policy or breaking cultural news, our editorial team adheres to strict verification standards. We don't just report the noise; we verify the facts.

Our Fact-Checking Process

Before a story is published, it undergoes a rigorous editorial review:

• Primary Sourcing: We prioritize direct sources, including official documents, verified social media accounts, and on-the-record statements.
• Cross-Verification: If a claim is made by a secondary source, we attempt to corroborate the information with at least two independent sources before publishing.
• Contextual Accuracy: We ensure that quotes, videos, and images are presented in their proper context and not manipulated to change their meaning.

Handling Anonymous Sources

In cases where revealing a source could jeopardize their safety or career, we may grant anonymity. However, we do not publish tips from anonymous sources without independently verifying the core claims through documentation or secondary confirmation. A tip is a lead, not a story.

Corrections Policy

We are committed to transparency. If we make a factual error, we do not quietly delete it. We will update the article with the correct information and prominently display an "UPDATE" or "CORRECTION" note at the top or bottom of the piece, detailing what was changed and when.
