Veritas America was founded on a simple premise: decisions and viewpoints are better when they are based on facts. That standard applies to our readers, and it applies to us. This page explains how we handle sourcing, how we separate news from opinion, and how we correct our own mistakes when they happen.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Every news and analysis article published on Veritas America is built from verifiable, publicly available sources. Citations are always listed and are drawn from credible, non-partisan outlets whenever possible, including original documents, government records, court filings, and established wire services. When a claim in an article cannot be traced to a credible source, it does not run.
News and analysis pieces are written without first-person commentary and without inserted opinion. The goal of these articles is to lay out the situation, the facts as they can be verified, and why the difference between the two matters. Readers are trusted to reach their own conclusions.
News Versus Opinion
Veritas America publishes two distinct types of content, and we label them clearly so readers always know which they are reading.
News and analysis articles are fact-based and carry no personal opinion from the author. Op-eds and personal stories are clearly marked as such, and while they may include the author’s perspective or personal experience, they remain grounded in verifiable fact rather than speculation.
We do not blend the two. An opinion will never be presented as a fact, and a factual claim will never be softened into “just an opinion” to avoid accountability for it.
Corrections Policy
Mistakes can happen. When they do, we fix them openly rather than quietly.
If you believe an article contains a factual error, you can report it to corrections@veritasamerica.org. Include the article title, a link URL if available, and a description of the error along with any source that supports the correction.
Reported errors are reviewed promptly. If a factual error is confirmed, the article is updated and a correction notice is added directly to the piece, typically at the bottom, noting the date of the correction and what was changed. We do not silently edit factual claims after publication.
A distinction is made between two kinds of updates:
A correction addresses a factual inaccuracy, something that was simply wrong when published. A clarification adds context or precision to a statement that was accurate but could have been read in a misleading way. Both are noted transparently when they occur.
Conflicts of Interest
We strive to avoid conflicts of interest ahead of time when assigning pieces to Veritas America staff. However, when that is unavoidable, writers and contributors disclose any financial, professional, or personal ties to the subjects they cover. If a conflict exists that could reasonably affect a reader’s trust in an article, it is either disclosed within the piece (this scenario is very rare) or the writer does not cover that subject (this is what we do most often).
Independence
Veritas America’s editorial decisions are made independently. They are not dictated nor requested by outside parties or advertisers.
Our mission is to give readers a truth-centered account of the issues that affect them, even when that account complicates a widely held but incorrect assumption. We do not shape coverage to fit a predetermined political conclusion, and we do not name or promote specific political candidates as alternatives to anyone discussed in our articles.
