Fact-Checking Policy

Dubai Times checks names, dates, numbers, locations, quotes, documents, images, social posts and historical references before publication.

Verification Workflow

Reporters compare claims against official sources, documents, direct observation, named interviews, public records and archive material. Sensitive or disputed claims require stronger sourcing and editorial review.

Archives, Screenshots and Social Media

Archived pages and screenshots are treated as supporting material, not final proof on their own. Social media claims are checked against original posts, account history, metadata when available and independent confirmation.

Reader Feedback

Readers can send factual feedback to info@dubaitimes.org. The newsroom reviews the claim, checks the underlying material and updates the article when a correction or clarification is needed.
