We fact-check statements of top officials, members of government, members of parliament and other elected officials and deputies, including local authorities. We fact-check claims made by the members of ruling parties as well as the opposition. We are focused on statements of great public interest or on statements that are in the public eye at the moment. We also debunk common untruths or misconceptions which achieve prominence on social media.

We maintain coherent standards across fact-checks, regardless whether it's a claim of the ruling politician or opposition. However, our researches are more focused on the government members and members of influential groups because their decisions have greater impact on everyday lives of the citizens.

In every fact-check we have the same procedure – we give link on the public statement and then we try to determine the truth by comparing what is said with documents, registers, statistics, court decisions, articles previously published on this topic or the opinion of eminent experts.

We have five grades – from “Ni f od Fakta“ that stands for statements that are completely untrue to “Fakt“, meaning that the statement is completely based on facts. Grades are explained on our website http://faktograf.hr/sto-su-ocjene/ Grade for every statement is placed in the corner of the picture added to the article. We have started to work more intently on debunking false information, as it started to appear more often within Croatian social media and in mainstream news media as well. Since April 2019 we have been debunking false information on social media as part of Facebook's Third Party Fact-Checker Program.

The applicant's fact checks cover a variety of subjects and speakers and do not unduly concentrate on one side of the topic they fact-check. Due to greater accountability of decision makers, the applicant naturally covers more people and statements connected to the government.

Statute of Gong (https://www.gong.hr/media/uploads/statut_gong_28.12.2018._final.pdf) states that Gong is non-partisan and independent organization, founded in 1997 to encourage citizens to actively participate in political processes. Its goal is promoting and elevating human and civil rights, as well as encouraging and empowering citizens to participate in political processes.

Faktograf is obliged to respect the same principles. We are not involved in political parties or in supporting political candidates. We base our work in the manner of professional and ethical journalism, devoid of the influence of various particular interests.

The applicant sent Statute of its founding organization stating committement to independence and non-partisanship, with goal to encourage citizens to actively participate in political processes. 

Faktograf, as they state, is "obliged to respect the same principles" and not involve themselves in politics.

We choose statements on the basis of relevance or interest for particular topic in public. We start with providing link to the statement and then, as can be seen from the examples provided above, give links on every document, registry or other source that we use in checking the truthfulness of the statement. Readers can use those links to establish the correctness of our conclusions. If we cannot provide a hyperlink to the source, we name the source and quote it in detail.

Sources that are relevant for our fact-checks are: official documents like statements from the institutions, laws, statistics; domestic and international relevant organizations' reports; relevant media. More on our methodology on a following links: http://faktograf.hr/metodologija/

and http://faktograf.hr/sto-su-ocjene/

Based on the sample of work, the applicant does link to the sources of the claim it is fact-checking and the evidence it uses to fact-check it. Sometimes the applicant archive the link and give the evidence that way, most probably in a fear of link being deleted. When no link is available, the applicant name the source and quote.

On its website, the applicant explains its correction policy as in accordance with law on media, and pointed to the email through which the correction can be requested.

Examples of corrections:

In the original version of this text, it was incorrectly stated that narod.hr portal was manipulating the number of partisan pensions. An error occurred due to a misread of the published information which was pointed out to us by their staff, after which we have published the correction: https://faktograf.hr/2019/05/10/manipulacije-brojem-korisnika-partizanskih-mirovina/

In the original text, it was incorrectly stated that the Administration had been an integral part of the Ministry of Justice until 2011. One reader reached out to us via Twitter and has pointed out the mistake which was corrected and explained beneath the text:

https://faktograf.hr/2019/07/10/najavljena-rekonstrukcija-vlade-evo-koja-se-ministarstva-ne-bi-trebalo-dirati/

The applicant did not provide (nor I found it myself) a proof the applicant has a public page with all corrections made. However the applicant did provide examples of corrections from the previous year:

- the first one can only be traced if you have a link to it or if you search the website with title (because of its address I believe it was published together with all other reports). In that correction they acknowledge the guilty and why the mistake was done.

- in the second example the applicant has sent, there was a minor mistake, that the applicant corrected with an asterisk.

I suggest to improve only transparency in corrections (N.B. for type of "serious" corrections as in the first example), so readers can be aware of the mistake.
