Sample: Checking a claim before you publish a number

A single wrong figure in a headline can travel further than the correction ever will.

Before a number goes live

  • Find the original source of the figure.
  • Check the unit, the period and the place it covers.
  • Ask a second person to read the sentence aloud.

When you cannot confirm a number, say what you can confirm and say what you could not.
