How we check numbers and facts at Pew Research Center

Pew Research Center is a fact tank — a nonpartisan research organization committed to creating a foundation of facts to help inform policymakers and the public about important issues, without taking policy or advocacy positions. To that end, all of the material we release, from reports to blog posts to interactive graphics and even tweets, goes through a rigorous verification process we call a “number check.”

It’s called a number check, but we check much more than the numbers. CONT.
