About DoesItStand
An independent fact-checking publication with country editions and one standard for all of them.
What we do
We take one public claim at a time, examine the evidence, and publish a verdict. Each claim gets its own permanent page that keeps the sources, the speaker's reply, and a dated list of updates.
Our principles
- We check claims from all sides by the same standard.
- We show our sources so readers can judge the evidence themselves.
- We give every speaker the right of reply before we publish.
- We correct our mistakes in public.
Editions
We publish a Global edition and country editions for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, United States, United Kingdom. More countries will be added.
