Fact-Checking Policy
Sadie’s House publishes content intended to be professional and informative. We commit to accuracy and clarity across all articles, from design history to cultural influences. Our editorial team follows a strict fact-checking process before publication and maintains a clear policy for corrections and clarifications.
Verification Before Publication
Every article published on Sadie’s House undergoes a thorough verification process. Editors review all factual claims, including names, dates, historical events, statistics, and technical details relevant to design or cultural trends. This step ensures the information presented is correct and reliably sourced.
Source Prioritization
We prioritize specific types of sources to ensure the highest level of accuracy for our readers. Our team seeks out authoritative and credible information when researching and writing articles.
- Primary Sources: Original documents, academic studies, historical archives, direct interviews, and firsthand accounts.
- Peer-Reviewed Journals: Research papers and articles reviewed by experts in relevant fields.
- Official Institutions: Reports and data from government bodies, established museums, academic institutions, and recognized cultural organizations.
- Expert Interviews: Direct conversations with accredited specialists in art, design, history, or cultural studies.
Evaluating Claims
Our editors assess all claims for accuracy and context. We require robust evidence for any significant statement. When possible, claims are cross-referenced against multiple independent sources. We also consider the expertise and potential biases of each source to ensure balanced and accurate reporting.
Handling Unverified Claims
If a claim cannot be adequately verified with credible sources, our policy dictates its removal or rephrasing. We do not publish information that lacks sufficient factual backing. Sometimes, content is adjusted to reflect uncertainty or a lack of definitive information rather than presenting it as fact.
Fact and Opinion Distinction
Sadie’s House ensures a clear separation between factual information and subjective opinion. Articles featuring analysis, commentary, or interpretation are clearly presented as such. Opinion pieces reflect the views of the author and do not present unsubstantiated claims as objective facts. Our commitment remains to truthful reporting in all content.
Reporting Inaccuracies
We encourage our readers to help us maintain accuracy. If you believe you have identified an inaccuracy in any Sadie’s House article, please notify us immediately. Send an email to [email protected].
Please include the article title, a direct link to the content, and the specific claim you believe is incorrect. Provide any supporting evidence or reliable sources that will aid our review. Our editorial team will investigate all reports promptly and take necessary action within five business days.
