Fact-checking Standards

ANN News is committed to publishing accurate information across all of its platforms. We take many steps to ensure accuracy. ANN News counts on its writers and editors to make independent evaluations of difficult topics, to report on and analyze those topics using verifiable facts, and to clearly identify the sources of all information presented. ANN News provides direct links to original sources and data directly in a given article. We stand by the accuracy of our reporting, and strive to quickly and transparently correct any errors.

Ethics Policy

ANN News journalists seek and report the truth—they are honest and courageous in gathering, reporting, and interpreting information. ANN News stories strive to include perspectives of those often excluded from mainstream coverage, including the voices of community members, movement leaders, and those directly impacted by the topics on which ANN News reports. However, this focus in no way negates ANN News’s commitment to publish balanced, factual reporting and analysis, in addition to clearly labeled commentary and opinion.

Corrections Policy

ANN News is committed to telling readers when an error has been made, the magnitude of the error, and the correct information, as quickly as possible. This commitment and transparency is applicable to small errors as well as large, across our content. 

Ownership and Funding

ANN News was founded by Tariq Ahmad Bhat in 2016. ANN News is accountable only to our readers. Our revenue comes from advertisements.
