How Fiscal Fusion evaluates, verifies, attributes, and updates the information behind our reporting.
Fiscal Fusion prioritizes primary records, official statements, verified public documents, direct interviews, reputable wire services, and established subject-matter sources. We identify the origin of claims whenever possible and avoid relying on unsupported social posts or anonymous aggregation.
Before publication, editors review names, dates, locations, figures, quotes, and context against available source material. Developing stories are updated as new information becomes available, and uncertain details are clearly attributed rather than presented as confirmed fact.
We attribute material facts to the clearest available source, especially in politics, business, finance, public safety, and legal coverage. When a report depends on another news organization, agency, document, or public official, readers should be able to understand where the information came from.
Anonymous sourcing is used only when the information is newsworthy, cannot reasonably be obtained on the record, and the source has direct knowledge. Editors evaluate the source's access, motive, and reliability before any anonymously sourced information appears in a story.
When source material changes or a verified correction is needed, we update the article promptly and follow our correction process. Reader feedback is reviewed by the editorial team and can be submitted through our contact page.
