How we report the news.

What every story goes through before we publish it.

Primary sources first

We build each story from company releases, regulatory filings and official product pages.

A second editor checks it

Every number, date and name is checked against its source before publication.

Facts apart from analysis

We separate what was announced from our reading of it, and we say what is not confirmed.

Corrections in the open

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the date of the change.

About our news

News stories follow the same fact-checking standards as our guides and reviews. Read how we check facts, or tell us about an error.
