A commitment to Transparency of Sources – Thibitisha wants our readers to be able to verify findings themselves. We provide all sources in enough detail that readers can replicate our work, except in cases where a source’s personal security could be compromised. In such cases, we provide as much detail as possible.

A commitment to Transparency of Funding & Organization – Thibitisha is transparent about our funding sources. If we accept funding from other organisations, we ensure that funders have no influence over the conclusions we reach in our reports. Thibitisha details the professional background of all key figures in the organisation and explains the organisational structure and legal status. We clearly indicate a way for readers to communicate with us.

Non-partisanship and Fairness – Thibitisha fact-check claims using the same standard for every fact check. We do not concentrate our fact-checking on any one side. We follow the same process for every fact-check and let the evidence dictate the conclusions. Thibitisha does not advocate or take policy positions on the issues we fact-check. We do not concentrate fact-checking on any one side.

A commitment to Transparency of Methodology – Thibitisha explains the methodology we use to select, research, write, edit, publish and correct our fact checks. We encourage our readers to send us claims to fact-check and are transparent on why and how we fact-check.

A commitment to an Open & Honest Corrections Policy – Thibitisha publishes our corrections policy and follows it scrupulously. We correct clearly and transparently in line with the corrections policy, seeking so far as possible to ensure that readers see the corrected version.
