Reuters News is part of Thomson Reuters, a corporation listed on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges. Further details about Thomson Reuters, including Annual Reports, are available here: https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us.html. This page is directly linked to via the Reuters Fact Check "About Us" page. A link to the "About Us" page is carried on all fact checks.

A footer that sits on the Reuters.com homepage and the Reuters.com/fact-check landing page also carries the following information: "Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters, is the world’s largest international multimedia news provider reaching more than one billion people every day. Reuters provides trusted business, financial, national, and international news to professionals via Thomson Reuters desktops, the world's media organizations, and directly to consumers at Reuters.com and via Reuters TV". A link to the Thomson Reuters homepage is provided.

Reuters on their fact-checks and main fact-check website (Reuters.com/fact-check), show an easy and accessible link to their main Reuters website.  One is easily able to identify the paragraph on their "about us" page:

"With unmatched coverage in over 16 languages, and reaching billions of people worldwide every day, we provide trusted intelligence that powers humans and machines to make smart decisions. Founded in 1851, Reuters has remained true to the Trust Principles of independence, integrity and freedom from bias, working relentlessly to bring news from the source and from every corner of the world."

While the direct legal registration is not available, considering their historic and legacy status in journalism, the accessible links to their "about me" page will suffice here.  

1. "Reuters Fact Check" began work in January 2020, but prior to this date Reuters was routinely fact-checking claims as part of its core newsgathering efforts. The Fact Check team was a natural extension of the user-generated content newsgathering team, which specialises in the verification of material posted on social media and regularly encounters misleading content. The Fact Check team was created to give an outlet for this information and to respond to a growing awareness of the threat posed by misinformation.

2. Reuters Fact Check comprises of one head of fact-checking, regional fact-checking leads (currently in Bangalore, Brazil, Mexico, the US and the UK), 16 fact-checking producers (some staff and some freelance). The team receives additional reporting, editing, legal and business support from many other teams within Reuters News.

3. Reuters Fact Check is purely focused on the identification, research and publishing of articles relating to claims appearing on digital platforms.

4. Reuters Fact Check aims to publish in more regions and languages; include stories about how misinformation impacts people and companies; respond even more closely to concerns and confusion detected in the regions we serve; and further make use of its extensive body of fact-checks to identify patterns and recurring issues.

Based on the response, Reuters has exclusively setup a sperate in-house team for fact-checking purposes:

"Reuters Fact Check comprises of one head of fact-checking, regional fact-checking leads (currently in Bangalore, Brazil, Mexico, the US and the UK), 16 fact-checking producers (some staff and some freelance). The team receives additional reporting, editing, legal and business support from many other teams within Reuters News."

As per the application, Reuters fact-check was mostly compliant with publishing a fact-check once a week for the last 12 months (July 2023 to July 2022).

In the month of April 2023, a gap of 9 days between fact-checks was found.  However, this minor gap can be overlooked as Reuters Fact-Check was otherwise consistent throughout the past year.

The vast majority (75%+) of Reuters factchecks' are on average, are related to issues that, in the view of the IFCN, relate to or could have an impact on the welfare or well-being of individuals, the general public or society.

Reuters News is part of Thomson Reuters Corp — a provider of news and information-based tools to professionals. Thomson Reuters has commercial contracts with governments. Thomson Reuters has not received funding or support from state or political actors.

Based on Reuters' 'trust principles', it is an independent news agency.  At the same time, as Reuters is a public company, their financial statements show that their revenues come from several sources and not just one particular entity. 

In their application, it is also stated that they have contracts with multiple governments and not from political actors.  

Reuters needs to provide more clarity on exactly what their sources of income are for Reuters News specifically on their fact-check webpage.   Beyond just - "governmental contracts".

That being said, based on the 'trust principles' - Reuter's agency is not controlled by any singular political or private party/entity.  

Not applicable.

While Reuters receives income from government contracts, they do ensure editorial independence as stated here: https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html

1. Fact Check-Small study of teens is not evidence of long-term heart damage after COVID shots 

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-health-vaccine-idUSL1N34B23F

When examining anti-COVID vaccine narratives citing peer-reviewed studies, we dive deep into original material and review the data, including footnotes. In this case, a small study carried out by physicians was used to misleadingly conclude that getting the COVID-19 vaccination led to long-term heart damage among teenagers. We examined the data and found that this conclusion was not supported by the original study. The case study did not include pre-vaccination MRIs, so it is not known if any individuals had pre-existing heart damage. We also interviewed one of the study's authors, who said his findings may not represent what happens in all teens with post-vaccine heart inflammation, much less all teens who get vaccinated. The pediatrician added that his study did not suggest what proportion of teens in the general population experience heart inflammation following vaccination.

2. Fact Check-Joe Biden did not say his administration cured cancer 

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-cancer-biden-idUSL1N39D27V

World leaders are often targets of misinformation regardless of political affiliation. In this fact check, we examined a video of U.S. President Joe Biden that was clipped mid-statement, alongside false claims that Biden said he had already found a cure for cancer. We examined the full footage and found that he announced new measures by his administration to improve access to mental health treatment in the U.S. In our text, we embedded the video and note the exact minute that he makes the unedited statement so that readers can easily cross-check the evidence.

3. Fact Check-Clips of anti-Trump messages on Las Vegas Sphere were created using a filter

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-trump-sphere-idUSL1N39B2CL

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is also targeted with misinformation. In this article, we addressed clips of anti-Trump messages emblazoned across the ‘Sphere’ entertainment venue in Las Vegas. We traced the source of the earliest iteration and tracked previous messages they posted, including one that said he created the anti-Trump clip using a TikTok filter. A spokesperson for the famous sphere also said the anti-Trump images were not displayed on the site.

4. Fact Check-Moms for Liberty tweet with white supremacist quote is fabricated
 https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-moms4liberty-14-words/fact-check-moms-for-liberty-tweet-with-white-supremacist-quote-is-fabricated-idUSL1N38J0EW 

Messaging amid culture wars often contains misinformation, so we look at both sides of the debate and examine the evidence when considering a fact check. Conservative parents-rights group Moms for Liberty, which advocates for electing conservative members of local school boards, was falsely linked to a fabricated quote on white supremacy. We included the group's denial of having posted the quote/tweet online. We also included context that the fabricated quote was posted after a chapter for Moms of Liberty quoted Adolf Hitler in a newsletter (and linked to an article where the group's chapter issued an apology). 

5. Fact Check-Resurge afirmación falsa sobre lugar de nacimiento de la mexicana Claudia Sheinbaum

(EN translation: Fact Check-False claim resurfaces about Mexico politician Claudia Sheinbaum's birthplace)

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-sheinbaum-bulgarianacimiento-idUSL1N3671IT

Mexican politician and presidential hopeful Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has been targeted with baseless claims that she was not born in Mexico — a claim that, if true, would make the left-wing candidate ineligible to run for the country's presidency. We monitored the narrative for several months but did not pursue a fact check until the claims reached mainstream and high engagement online (so as to avoid the amplification of misinformation). Once the threshold was reached, we contacted Sheinbaum's reps, which sent Reuters a copy of an identity document that listed her birthplace as Mexico City. However, we needed independent confirmation so Reuters contacted the Civil Registry of Mexico City to confirm the authenticity of the document. The agency said it corresponds with Sheinbaum's details and that the document indicates the politician was born in the Mexican capital. Because Sheinbaum had Bulgarian heritage, we reported further: We reached out to Bulgarian officials in charge of the civil registry, which confirmed it had no birth records under her name. 

6.  Fact Check-U.S. elections: What we know about a new Massachusetts law that allows undocumented migrants to get a driver's license
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-mass-license-idUSL1N31K1EQ 

At the time, this law in Massachusetts was set to go into effect in 2023 and would enable immigrants with non-legal status to obtain a driver’s license. The legislation led to a debate in the state as to whether the law could affect election integrity over concerns about who qualifies for automatic voter registration. We reported on what the legislation says (and does not say); what critics of the bill take issue with; were transparent about political party affiliations on both sides; and stated the requirements for voter eligibility. 

7. Fact Check-Photos misidentifying the Nashville school shooter circulate on social media 

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-nashville-shooter-photos-idUSL1N36021R

When distressing breaking news situation strikes, such as a school shooting, we keep watch for harmful misinformation narratives. After news broke of a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, we saw many social media posts misidentifying the suspected shooter, including one recurring hoax that links a comedian to school shootings. In our article, we examine the viral claims that falsely linked various individuals, including an artist and a trans activist. We included a link to images that included photos police released of the suspected shooter so that readers can clearly see how the people misidentified do not look like the suspected shooter. 

8. Fact Check-Fake Lauren Boebert tweet on people being charged for crimes stems from parody account
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-idUSL1N36F0HC
Fact Check-Fabricated Lauren Boebert quote compares Trump and Biden administration unemployment rates
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-boebert-unemployment-idUSL1N31T1R4

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has often voiced support for the former president after he lost the 2020 election and later faced legal cases. However, fabricated quotes were attributed to Boebert that included inaccurate unemployment rate comparisons between Biden and Trump administrations; and that if Trump is charged with crimes "they could charge any of us for our crimes". For these claims, we searched for any archival information on her statements and tweets (as we do for any claim we examine) and found no evidence that she made such statements. We also reached out to her spokesperson, who said she did not make those statements. We also provided context on how one of the fabricated quotes stemmed from a parody account. 

9. Fact Check-Video of queues at Russia-Finland border was taken more than three weeks before Vladimir Putin’s partial mobilisation announcement

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-finland-russia-idUSL1N30U1HK

During Russia's war in Ukraine, we assessed misinformation targeting both sides of the conflict. In one viral claim shortly after Russian leader Vladimir Putin's Sept. 21 announcement of the country's first mobilisation since World War Two, social media users shared a video of a long queue of cars and suggested it showed Russians trying to escape to Finland to avoid conscription. We examined the claim and found that the video pre-dated Putin's announcement by two days. We reached out to the video uploader who said the footage "was released before announcements and was just depicting the quite typical line at the border." We reported that Finnish officials on Sept. 21 said the situation at the Russia-Finland border was no different since Putin’s announcement. We kept watch of the traffic situation (including monitoring the traffic website https://www.rajaliikenne.fi/) and noted that Finnish border guards on Sept. 23 said the number of Russians who had entered the previous day was double the amount who arrived the week before.

10. Fact Check-Claims that pizza boxes in Andrew Tate video led to his December arrest unsupported by evidence

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pizza-tate/fact-check-claims-that-pizza-boxes-in-andrew-tate-video-led-to-his-december-arrest-unsupported-by-evidence-idUSL1N33O1FH

The arrest of internet personality Andrew Tate saw a rise in misinformation and baseless claims targeting the former professional kickboxer. One such viral claim was that a pizza box in a video posted by Andrew Tate led to his and his brother's arrest in December 2022. The claim was amplified by accounts supporting activist Greta Thunberg amid a Twitter climate change debate between the two individuals. We examined the claim and found no publicly available evidence that a pizza box led to the Tate brothers' arrest. We also reported that Romanian authorities denied that pizza boxes led to their arrest.

No issues regarding partisanship were identified from Reuters Fact-Check.  Reuters was seen to apply credible and strong sources of evidence to make their claims in their fact-checks.  

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about

Reuters applies their fact-checking methodology to all viewpoints and have a fair method in place to identify which claims they check.

Their webpage states (https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about):

"we actively seek out groups and accounts that represent opposing viewpoints and apply the same standards of assessment to all content.

Our choice of material to fact check is broad, and is based on the following criteria:

Editorial value: is the topic timely and of public interest?

Could the material potentially cause real-world harm, if it is inaccurate?

Reach: how far has the claim travelled? We examine the level of interactions on individual posts, as well as the visibility of the claim across different platforms.

Potential reach: is the information likely to be shared further? We examine how quickly the post is generating interaction and consider whether it may be repeated by others.

Balance of fact vs opinion: is it possible to isolate certain claims from the material?

After we have identified the content we aim to fact-check, we will first identify and summarize the key claims made in the content.

We then aim to fully uncover the foundations of those claims, firstly by attempting to identify the origin of the information. In many cases, the original source of a given claim cannot be established, but in cases where a potential source is identified, Reuters Fact Check will ask that source for additional information and comment as required. We look for evidence relevant to the claim – both supportive or otherwise - and consult experts. Reuters Fact Check names its sources and gathers links to publicly viewable material wherever possible."

In view of what has been observed, Reuters discloses in its fact checks relevant interests of the sources it quotes and any commercial or other such relationships it has.  Reuters does an excellent job of citing its sources in its fact-checks.

Based on the fact-checks observed, Reuters does not affiliate with or support for any party, any politician or political candidate, nor does it advocate for or against any policy positions on any issues save for transparency and accuracy in public debate.

On their webpage it states that (https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about):

Reuters does not give support – directly or indirectly – to any political party or group nor does it take sides in national or international conflicts or disputes in accordance with our Code of Conduct. In keeping with this policy you must not identify the Reuters name with any political party or group or any one side in such conflicts or disputes.

Displays of political affiliation or support for partisan causes have no place in our newsrooms. No member of editorial, whether a journalist or support worker, may wear campaign buttons, badges or items of clothing bearing political slogans on the job, nor bring posters, pamphlets and other political material to the workplace to distribute or display.

As per their websites all Reuters journalists strive for 'freedom from bias' in their work.  This extends to their fact-checking journalists/work as well.  

Further details regarding this can be found here:  https://www.reutersagency.com/en/about/standards-values/ 

In the fact-checks analyzed, Reuters does provide easy access to the source of all significant evidence used in their fact checks.  They do this by providing relevant links where the source is available online. In cases where identifying the source would compromise the source’s personal security, Reuters provides as much detail as compatible with the source’s safety.

Based on the fact-checks observed, Reuters does an excellent job of identifying and using primary sources in their fact-checks.  Rarely do they need to use secondary sources all together.  

Based on the fact-checks observed, Reuters' does an excellent job of checking key elements of claims against more than one named source of evidence save where the one source is the only source relevant on the topic.

Based on the fact-checked reviewed: Reuters' identifies in its fact checks the relevant interests, where the reader will reasonably be able to identify interests that could influence the accuracy of the evidence provided.

 Reuters' methodology is available at https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about

Based on the fact-checks reviewed, Reuters' selects claims to check based primarily on the reach and importance of the claims, and where possible explains the reason for choosing the claim to check.

Based on the fact-checks reviewed, Reuters' in its fact checks, identifies relevant evidence that appears to support the claim as well as relevant evidence that appears to undermine it.

Reuters' in its fact checks was found using the same high standards applied to evidence on equivalent claims, regardless of who made the claim.  Their website states that:

"We look for evidence relevant to the claim – both supportive or otherwise – and consult multiple experts."

In the fact-checks analyzed, Reuters contacts those who made the claim to seek supporting evidence, noting that -

if the person who makes the claim fails to reply in a timely way, it does not impede the fact check.

Reuters Fact Check explains on its "About" page (https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about) that readers are invited to send in suggestions, disputes and general feedback. We have written the following:

"You may contact the fact-checking unit at Reuters if you have suggestions of content to fact-check, if you have any disputes over our fact-checking work or if you wish to give general feedback.

Below the section encouraging users to reach out, we explain our methodology which includes but is not limited to:

"Our choice of material to fact check is broad, and is based on the following criteria:

Editorial value: is the topic timely and of public interest?

Could the material potentially cause real-world harm, if it is inaccurate?

Reach: how far has the claim travelled? We examine the level of interactions on individual posts, as well as the visibility of the claim across different platforms.

See the full methodology here: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about 

Reuters does a reasonable job to encourage users to send in claims to fact-check.  At the same time, they provide reasonable details on what they can and cannot fact-check.  Details about this can be found here:  https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about 

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about 

Reuters does have a clear and detailed corrections policy available on their website here:  https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about 

Reuters sets out clear definitions of what it does and does not cover, how major mistakes, especially those requiring revised conclusions of a fact check, are handled, and the fact that some complaints may justify no response. Details about it can be found here: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about

"Reuters is honest about errors. We rectify them promptly and clearly. We do not disguise or bury mistakes in subsequent updates or stories.

Readers are invited to contact us via email (reutersfactcheck@thomsonreuters.com) to advise us of any errors or dispute the material presented. We will review all matters raised in correspondence, but we will not be able to reply to all emails noting minor issues or a disputing the findings of a check without supplying supporting evidence.

The Reuters fact-checking unit strives to provide accurate, unbiased reporting at all times. In the event that we make an error, or new information comes to light that changes our understanding of the subject, we will make a correction, a refile or an update.

If a fact check contains substantive, factual error, we will issue a correction. An advisory line will be placed at the top of the article to explain what is being corrected. The correction will then be made in the body of the article and, if necessary, reflected in the headline and verdict of the check. The corrected fact check will appear at the top of the fact check home page.

If a fact check contains a minor error, such as a misspelling, that has no bearing on the understanding of the article, we will issue a refile. An advisory will be placed at the top of the article to explain what has been corrected. The correction will be made in the body of the article.

If we are made aware of additional information that does not contradict the existing information but instead gives further context or explanation of the subject discussed in the fact check, we will issue an update. An advisory line will be placed at the top of the article to explain what has been added. The updated check will appear at the top of the fact check homepage."

(Correction made in 2023 after reader wrote that year) Fact Check-Statue of Liberty photos do not prove sea level rise is insignificant

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-statue-of-liberty-sea-level-idUSL1N2RV1SK

+++CORRECTION: This article on Feb. 3, 2023, was updated throughout to address the central claim that sea level rise to date has not produced catastrophic effects, and to change the verdict from “false” to “misleading.”+++

The initial verdict for this 2021 article was "False" when addressing a claim that showed two side-by-side images of the Statue of Liberty in 1920 and 2020. The lede said the posts were "wrongly saying the images prove that sea levels are not rising."

A reader in February 2023, who had an interest in sea level data, wrote to us to say the posts that we flagged as false did not say sea level rise was a myth, but rather the images do not illustrate climate catastrophe specifically. He was correct and we updated the central claim to focus on how the two photos "are not evidence that seal level rise is insignificant." Reuters also changed the verdict from "False" to "Misleading" and issued a correction note at the top of the article to transparently update readers on the change.

(Correction) Fact Check-Claims that pizza boxes in Andrew Tate video led to his December arrest unsupported by evidence

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pizza-tate-idUSL1N33O1FH

This fact check examined claims that pizza boxes in a video posted by Andrew Tate led to his arrest in Romania, which we found no evidence of. However, in our originally published article, we erroneously noted that the criminal investigation began in April 2021, and not April 2022. The article was corrected to reflect the accurate date.

(Correction) Fact Check: Video of flooding is from Saudi Arabia, not Libya

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/video-flooding-is-saudi-arabia-not-libya-2023-09-18/

This check examined miscaptioned imagery falsely claiming to show deadly Libya flooding in September 2023. In the fact check, the originally published article said the earliest iteration of the miscaption imagery was posted in 2015, but it was actually in 2016. We recognised the error upon publishing and issued a correction with an update stating the correct year.

(Correction) Fact Check-California bill allows non-citizens with work permits to become police officers

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-california-police-idUSL1N33W1PA

The originally published article about a California bill was written with the conditional verb tense of "would" when describing what the bill "would allow". However, the bill was signed into law by the time the article was published, and the verb was updated to reflect the present tense to describe what the bill "allows".

(Correction) Fact Check-Purported Matt Walsh tweet about consent is fabricated

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-walsh-tweet-idUSL1N32W2K9

We examined a fabricated tweet about consent that was attributed to commentator Matt Walsh. In the final paragraph of the fact-check article we noted an authentic tweet that Walsh posted in which he makes clear that he did not author the fabricated post. In our article, we noted that Walsh posted it on Dec. 1, but it was Dec. 2. We corrected the article to reflect the accurate date.

(Correction) Fact Check: Al Jazeera not affiliated with X account making Gaza hospital claim

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/al-jazeera-not-affiliated-with-x-account-making-gaza-hospital-claim-2023-10-20/

When writing a fact check about an X/Twitter account falsely claiming to be an Al Jazeera journalist, the article wrote a line about the account's digital footprint, including that the account had posted only four times since it first began posting on Sept. 30. However, that figure was incorrect and we recognised the error ourselves. We removed the line referencing the amount of posts the account had as well as when the account first posted (since it was not crucial to the fact check) -- and issued a correction noting the error.

Reuters has only provided one example of a correction in the last 12 months. For which they comply as per this policy criteria.  The second example they have provided is from 2021.  

Reuters needs to provide one more example from the past 12 months (as per their application date) to comply for criteria 6.3.  

Reuters has updated this section of their analysis.  Reuters does indeed comply for criteria 6.3.  Over the past year, Reuters has shown evidence where they have accepted and published corrections in their fact-checks. Reuters is transparent and open about their corrections.

Reuters website (https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/about ) states:  

"Reuters is a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). The IFCN has a Code of Principles (https://www.ifcncodeofprinciples.poynter.org/know-more/the-commitments-of-the-code-of-principles). Readers of our fact-checks are invited to contact the IFCN if for any reason they feel Reuters Fact Check has acted in breach of this Code."

The Reuters Handbook of Journalism and the agency’s Standards and Values can be seen here: https://www.reutersagency.com/en/about/standards-values/

Under integrity, it states:

"Dealing with complaints

Reuters’ reputation for getting it right and reporting it fairly is something we should be proud of. It is a key part of attracting and keeping clients. Sometimes we do get it wrong, and it is important for our reputation to fix it when we do. Responding promptly and properly to complaints that we have not been accurate, balanced or ethical can avoid what could become costly legal problems, or widespread bad publicity. Complaints from any quarter – a source, a client, a member of the public, or a colleague in another part of Reuters – must be investigated promptly so that immediate corrective action can be taken if it proves to be well founded. Complaints that cannot be immediately investigated must be acknowledged at once and followed up quickly. They should be handled at a senior level in the bureau or on the desk. When in doubt, escalate to Brian Moss or Alix Freedman in Ethics and Standards.

Remember throughout the process of dealing with complaints that attitude counts. Getting mad or sounding overtly hostile may only make the person raising an issue more determined to press forward and less inclined to listen to what we have to say. It may help if you try to think of what you’re hearing as feedback or constructive criticism, rather than simply a complaint."
