Frequently asked questions
How we choose, check and publish claims.
What do you check?
Claims circulating in Cameroon that are of public interest: viral messages, images, videos, public statements. We prioritise those that spread the most or could cause harm.
How does a fact check work?
A journalist opens the case and gathers evidence: official sources, people involved, documents, tracing where images come from. A supervisor reviews the evidence, gives the verdict and decides on publication.
How can I send you a claim?
Use the “Report a claim” page. Your name and contact are optional; if given, they are only used to contact you back and are never published. We cannot check every report, but every one is read.
What do you do if you make a mistake?
We correct it as soon as it is established and update the fact check. If you think a fact check contains an error, report it with the evidence you have.
Do I have to pay to read your fact checks?
No. All fact checks are free to read.
