Suara.com is one of a small numbers of online media in Indonesia which have been verified by the Indonesian Press Council as can be found at this URL: https://dewanpers.or.id/data/perusahaanpers

This fact-checking project namely "Cek Fakta" itself is part of the website [Suara.com]'s publication.

Other than that, in term of business, Suara.com through its parent company namely Arkadia Digital Media has been officially listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) since September 2018.

The applicant is the distinct fact-checking section of a legally registered media outlet, namely Suara.com. Suara.com is a member of the Indonesian Press Council – its membership can be searched here: https://dewanpers.or.id/data/perusahaanpers. 

Suara.com's fact-checking section can be accessed here: https://www.suara.com/cekfakta

List of Suara.com's fact check articles can be found here: https://www.suara.com/cekfakta

The applicant has published an average of more than one fact-check per week over the past three months (based on an article published from June 10 to September 19, 2019). 

However, a number of fact-checks are based on fact-checks from other organizations, such as Mafindo and AFP, which are credited accordingly. For example: 

- https://www.suara.com/news/2019/09/19/154202/cek-fakta-sampul-tempo-novel-baswedan-penjual-rahasia-negara-hoaks

- https://www.suara.com/news/2019/06/27/135235/bule-yang-disebut-profesor-ini-pose-2-jari-dukung-prabowo-ini-faktanya

- https://www.suara.com/news/2019/06/20/154404/ada-penampakan-di-belakang-kursi-hakim-mk-saat-sidang-ini-faktanya

- https://www.suara.com/news/2019/09/01/012924/cek-fakta-benarkah-ada-pria-arab-saudi-tak-sengaja-beli-2-pesawat-airbus

A number of articles aren't about debunking social media posts, but debunking consumers' myths. Although these articles don't have Cek Fakta (Fact Check) label on their headlines, they are still included in the fact-check section. They also have the standard Editorial Notes at the end of the report, saying: "This article is part of Suara.com Fact Check's content." These articles aren't written by the fact-check team and don't go through the same fact-checking steps. 

Examples: 

- 4 myths of skin care: https://www.suara.com/lifestyle/2019/08/29/094958/salah-kaprah-ini-4-mitos-perawatan-kulit-yang-sering-beredar

- whether Indonesian traditional chili paste tastes when it's crushed traditional way or with a blender machine: https://www.suara.com/lifestyle/2019/08/29/171734/lebih-enak-sambal-ulek-daripada-diblender-mitos-atau-fakta-ini-kata-chef

Here are a list of ten articles that could show our scope of fact-checking.

The articles listed above were produced by members of the fact-check team. Occasionally, as can be found on the Cek Fakta page at https://www.suara.com/cekfakta there are also articles that were produced by other members of Suara.com editorial team (not the fact-check team), but we can assure they share similar concept and coherent standards for all fact-checking related articles, with the key point is "to answer and give clear explanation whether something is factual or not".

More update (based on previous assessment's note): As for claims spread on WhatsApp, it is true that it's difficult to measure the reach. But we have to mention that the CekFakta collaboration actually also gather issues through a WhatsApp business account where people (users) may ask if something is true or not, with the admins so far are from Mafindo. Perhaps there is a way to calculate the WhatsApp reach.

Suara.com fact-checks a wide range of claims, regardless of potential political affiliations of the claims. 

The assessment of "relevance" largely includes the potential reach of the claim, such as how the number of shares of social media posts, whenever it is possible. (They also fact-check claims spread via WhatsApp, and it's difficult to measure the WhatsApp reach.) 

However, in at least one fact-check, such as this one: https://www.suara.com/news/2019/07/17/155334/cek-fakta-benarkah-pa-212-tunggu-komando-habib-rizieq-bunuh-diri-massal, the screenshot doesn't specify which social media platforms are used in spreading the false claims. 

The potential reach of the claims is presented in screenshots (e.g. number of shares, number of video views, etc.) -- but it will be better if it's also stated in the text. 

Suara.com does have strong policy of nonpartisanship as can be found on our About Us page at this URL: https://www.suara.com/pages/tentangkami

The page also emphasizes that our editorial team follows the Press Council's Pedoman Media Siber or "Online Media Guidelines" as can be found at this URL: https://www.suara.com/pages/pedomanmediasiber

Also, attached a file of Suara.com's Editorial Code of Conducts.

Another statement of our nonpartisanship policy can also be found in the CEO statement on Arkadia Digital Media's website at this URL: https://arkadiacorp.com/

Suara.com doesn't have explicit rules that prevent its staff from involvement in advocact. However, in its "About Us" page, Suara.com states that reporting should be "honest, balanced and independent ... Balance is giving the same portion to all related parties, impartial and based on a fair principle." 

It also states that its editorial team follow the Press Council's Cyber Media Guidelines, which includes points on "balance" in reporting. 

Meanwhile, in its Editorial Code of Conducts, Suara.com states, "In reporting news, Suara.com journalists cannot take side with a subkect (whether it's political, legal, economic and social conflicts). Journalists also have to avoid favouritism  toward a figure, organization, celebrity and even football club they cover." 

The methods of how we produce our fact-check articles can be found at this URL: https://www.suara.com/pages/tentangcekfakta which includes how we find, use and present our sources. Also, as a whole editorial team's policy, attached are files of Suara.com's Editorial SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and Code of Conducts.

As for links to original sources, although not every article has them, we always try to at least clearly mention the sources, including the Turnbackhoax.id or Cekfakta.com pages where we got many of the articles from --as part of our collaboration.

Also, after later reviews, our team will usually update the articles with links (including the two examples mentioned in the previous assesment's notes), and it's been done for most of the latest articles we produce.

In the applicant's reports, key sources are usually referenced, through screenshots, and they also give links to the sources they use as evidence, so that readers can replicate the fact check if they wish. 

However, there are also reports that don't provide links of the reference source, such as this fact-check on a boy claimed to suffer from a sickness due to a purported addiction to online games (https://www.suara.com/news/2019/08/24/163955/cek-fakta-viral-bocah-gerak-tak-terkontrol-karena-kecanduan-game-online) -- instead it provides screenshots of the evidence. 

When Suara.com republishes fact-checks from other organizations, such as Mafindo, it links to the other organization's fact check story.

In a box of additional information at the bottom of each fact-check articles, we've mentioned how people can give comments or corrections to the articles.

Similar information has also been mentioned at this page: https://www.suara.com/pages/tentangcekfakta

Principally, we address and handle corrections based on the Press Council's Pedoman Media Siber as can be found here at https://www.suara.com/pages/pedomanmediasiber

The attached document of our Editorial SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) also has some points about how we handle corrections.

The applicant's general corrections policy is based on the Press Council's Cyber Media Guidelines, which can be seen here: https://www.suara.com/pages/pedomanmediasiber. 

 In its "About Fact Check" page, https://www.suara.com/pages/tentangcekfakta, it gives a general explanation on how readers can submit corrections on its stories. 

Examples given before this update --as of 26 September-- were from regular articles. That is partly because actually, the "Cek Fakta" articles are so far rarely corrected. The methods to get sources, checking or verifying the claim, have so far kept a very minimum error on them. It is also proven by the very rare correction or even feedback from our readers.

First update on 19 September included this article as one of the examples: https://www.suara.com/news/2019/09/01/012924/cek-fakta-benarkah-ada-pria-arab-saudi-tak-sengaja-beli-2-pesawat-airbus

This is actually a Cek Fakta article to correct another article on our website with the same topic (mentioned on the 5th paragraph of the article).

And here are two examples of corrections in fact-checking articles in the past few months, with explanation of the correction written in the editorial notes at the bottom of each article:

https://www.suara.com/news/2019/04/30/132147/cek-fakta-sekjen-pbb-ucapkan-selamat-ke-prabowo-subianto

https://www.suara.com/news/2019/04/26/155040/cek-fakta-prabowo-titiek-sudah-ijab-qabul-kembali-jadi-suami-istri

The organization says it doesn't provide any examples of corrections because their fact-check articles are "so far rarely corrected". 

It includes a fact-check article – link https://www.suara.com/news/2019/08/28/140649/pria-ini-tak-sengaja-beli-2-pesawat-airbus-a350-1000-untuk-ultah-putranya – a translation of an AFP Fact Check article – corrected a report written by Suara.com's general news desk. 

The news article itself contains a correction explanation at the bottom: 
https://www.suara.com/news/2019/08/28/140649/pria-ini-tak-sengaja-beli-2-pesawat-airbus-a350-1000-untuk-ultah-putranya.
