About Us

Queer Press

Sources & Fact-Checking

Committed to providing accurate, fair, and responsible journalism for readers from contributors like you

As a rule, we avoid relying on single sources. Our stories are typically supported by multiple sources, which allows us to present well-rounded, corroborated, and reliable information. This practice is crucial in maintaining the accuracy and depth of our reporting.

Use of Unnamed resources

The use of unnamed sources is approached with caution and considered only under specific circumstances. We recognize that in certain situations, particularly those involving sensitive LGBTQ+ issues, sources may require anonymity to protect them from real or perceived retaliation, harm, or stigma. In such cases, the decision to use an unnamed source is made with the utmost care and involves a thorough evaluation of the source's credibility and the necessity of anonymity for their protection.

Editorial Oversight

Decisions to use unnamed sources are not taken lightly and involve rigorous vetting. These decisions are subject to approval by senior editorial staff. We ensure that the use of such sources is essential to the story and that the information provided is not obtainable by other means.

Transparancy and Audience

When unnamed sources are used, we are transparent with our audience about the reasons for anonymity, without revealing sensitive details that could compromise the source. We strive to provide as much information as possible about the nature of the source and the reasons for their anonymity to maintain trust with our readers.

Ethical Considerations

In all our sourcing decisions, we are guided by ethical considerations, prioritizing the safety, dignity, and privacy of our sources, especially when dealing with vulnerable individuals or sensitive issues within the LGBTQ+ community.

Through this sourcing policy, Queer Press aims to uphold the principles of responsible journalism, ensuring that our reporting is not only informative and impactful but also ethical and respectful of the sources that contribute to our stories.

At Queer Press, we are committed to providing accurate, fair, and responsible journalism that reflects the diverse voices and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. Our sourcing policy outlines the principles and guidelines we follow when gathering information, interviewing sources, and using external content to ensure the highest standards of integrity and credibility in our reporting.

Sourcing is vital for Queer Press because it upholds the publication’s commitment to accuracy, fairness, transparency, and accountability. It helps maintain its credibility, represent diverse voices, and ensure that readers receive reliable and trustworthy information on LGBTQ+ issues and related topics.

This policy outlines the principles guiding the use of sources at Queer Press, emphasizing the importance of multiple source verification, careful use of unnamed sources, editorial oversight, transparency, and ethical considerations in their journalistic practices.
