At Kiwano News, fact-checking is a core part of our journalism. In an era where misinformation, edited media, and AI-generated content spread rapidly, we are committed to verifying claims before publishing.
Our fact-check articles aim to help readers understand what is true, what is false, and what is misleading.
Our Fact-Checking Mission
We investigate:
- Viral social media posts
- Suspicious images and videos
- Political claims and speeches
- Public statements by influential figures
- Misleading headlines and edited media
- AI-generated or manipulated content
Our Fact-Checking Process
Before publishing any fact-check article, we follow a strict verification process:
1) Identify the Original Claim
We trace where the claim first appeared and how it spread.
2) Verify With Reliable Sources
We cross-check information with:
- Official records and statements
- Government data
- Court documents
- Reputed news organizations
- Public databases
3) Image and Video Verification
For visual claims, we use:
- Reverse image search
- Frame-by-frame video analysis
- Metadata and context checks
- Detection of AI or digital manipulation signs
4) Context Matters
Sometimes a claim is not entirely false but shared without proper context. We explain the full context to readers.
5) Human Review
Every fact-check article is reviewed by a human editor before publication.
Fact Check Labels We Use
To maintain clarity, we use clear labels in our fact-check reports:
- True – The claim is accurate.
- False – The claim is incorrect or fabricated.
- Misleading – The claim uses real content but wrong context.
- Unverified – Not enough evidence available.
- AI-Generated / Manipulated – Media created or altered digitally.
Corrections and Updates
If new evidence emerges or an error is found:
- We update the article immediately
- We clearly mention the correction or update
- We value reader feedback for accuracy

Independence and Neutrality
Our fact-checking process is independent of political, commercial, or personal influence. We focus only on evidence and verifiable facts.
Transparency to Readers
We explain how we verified the claim and which sources we relied on, so readers can understand the verification process themselves.
Our Commitment
Our goal is not just to debunk false claims, but to educate readers on how misinformation spreads and how it can be identified.
Kiwano News is committed to fighting misinformation with responsible fact-check journalism.
