Fact Checking Policy for SovereignBirdie.us
Your Voice, Your News: Trusted Across Borders
At SovereignBirdie.us, facts are the foundation of everything we publish. This policy outlines how we ensure accuracy in our North American news coverage, from breaking U.S. political updates to Canadian climate reports.
Our Fact-Checking Promise
Before any story goes live, we:
Verify Sources: Use primary sources like Statistics Canada or U.S. Census Bureau data.
Cross-Check Claims: Compare statements with trusted third parties (e.g., PolitiFact USA or Canadian Fact Check).
Contextualize: Explain complex topics (like cross-border tax laws) in plain language.
How We Fact-Check?
1. Pre-Publication Process
Step 1: Writers flag claims needing verification (e.g., “Canada’s carbon tax increased by 15% in 2024”).
Step 2: Editors review sources, prioritizing government reports, peer-reviewed studies, and expert interviews.
Step 3: Legal team checks sensitive topics (e.g., Indigenous rights or U.S. immigration policies).
2. Post-Publication Audits
Monthly Reviews: Update outdated stats (e.g., Toronto’s population growth or U.S. unemployment rates).
Reader Feedback: Investigate corrections flagged via corrections@sovereignbirdie.us.
