This is going to be a disaster. There shouldn't be a thing called "Fact Checking" because Journalists are supposed to report facts. Fix should be done at the root. Tell me who is going to "Fact Check" the "Fact Checkers"? All your effort will collapse when there is just ONE incident where your factchecking went wrong. After that your credibility will go for a toss. Now, tell me one thing - everytime you say you are "de-hyphenated" media. But how? This is your self declaration. You haven't given reasons and convinced us what's so "new" about you that you are "de hyphenated"? I am asking this because not just I many people don't believe your claims.

Who is going to "fact check" the fact checkers? This is going not going to fly. That's because it is OTHERS who must claim that "The Print" publishes facts and its OTHERS who have to have that trust. But whats happening here is "The Print" is claiming to do a fact checking and asks you to trust them. They are forgetting that trust is earned and not claimed i.e. "we are trustworthy"
