We’re reminding our community about “What Is True?” — the community-driven fact-checking service from the Roy Howard Community Journalism Center.

Our team — composed of undergraduate and graduate students mentored by longtime journalists and editors — investigates claims submitted by community members. We also monitor sources such as social media, news releases, political speeches and public statements to identify false or misleading information and present you with the facts.

This is a nonpartisan, fact-based service. We follow the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics and are committed to fairness, accuracy and transparency in every report we publish.

Each fact-check is designed to be clear and easy to understand. We break down every claim into four parts: a summary judgment, what we found, why it matters and the bottom line. We also explain how we collected and verified the information, with links to our sources.

Each claim we investigate is rated using one of four categories:

— True: The claim is accurate based on verified evidence.

— False: The claim is not supported by facts.

— Misleading: The claim includes some truth but omits key context or exaggerates.

— Unsubstantiated: There is no credible evidence to support or refute the claim.

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions by separating fact from fiction. If you’ve seen or heard a claim you’d like us to check, submit it here.

Thank you for being part of a community that values facts — and the truth.
