Investigative work
How we approach investigations
Investigations take longer than commentary. They depend on documents, public records and careful verification before anything is published. This page collects our longer-form research and explains the standards behind it.
We rely on information that is publicly available or provided by sources who have the right to share it. We separate what we have confirmed from what we believe is likely, and we link to supporting material whenever we can so readers can check our work.
Verification
Claims are checked against more than one source where possible, and uncertainty is stated plainly.
Content policy →Right of reply
People and organizations named in our work can respond, and we will note their response.
Send a response →Corrections
If we get something wrong we correct it and note the change on the original piece.
Disclaimer →Our investigative standards
- Facts are separated from opinion and inference.
- Sources are cited when they can be cited.
- Private personal information is not published.
- Subjects are given a chance to respond.
- Corrections are made promptly.
