Fact In Face • Your right to know • Our job to expose

Fact In Face is an independent newsroom built on one promise: deliver hard facts with clear context—fast. We investigate power, follow the money, and turn complex stories into information you can act on.

What We Cover

US News: Breaking developments from across the country, with impact explained.

Business: Markets, companies, consumer issues, and the people behind big decisions.
Politics: Policy, elections, and accountability reporting at every level of government.
Crime: Public-interest crime coverage rooted in records and verified data.

How We Report

Evidence first: Public records, data analysis, document digs, and on-the-record sources wherever possible.
Anonymous sources: Used sparingly, only when information is vital and verifiable, and when a source faces real risk.
Two-source rule: We seek multiple independent confirmations for sensitive claims.
Right of reply: We contact subjects for comment before publication whenever feasible.
Plain language: No jargon. If it’s important, you’ll understand it.

Standards & Ethics

Accuracy: We publish what we can prove. If we get something wrong, we fix it—fast—and note the change.
Independence: Editors and reporters make editorial calls. Business operations don’t.
No conflicts: Our staff avoids financial or personal conflicts related to coverage.
Transparency: We explain what we know, what we don’t, and how we know it.
