Fact Checking Policy

Reporters need to be accurate with their words, headlines and URLs. They must understand that words have power and act responsibly. Reporters are expected to check the information they gather to do so. It includes the identification of details such as names and locations, but also includes claims and evidence accounts. Reporters carry out their own verification of the facts using the Code of Ethics based on their own judgment. Business Insider may use fact-checkers in other cases it considers appropriate.
