Sources & Verification Policy

At The Toronto Insider, we follow a structured and transparent approach to how sources are selected, validated, and cited.

Source Evaluation Criteria

We assess sources based on:

  • Expertise and authority

  • Reliability and track record

  • Proximity to the information

  • Potential bias or conflict of interest

Source Types

Anonymous Sources

Used only when:

  • Information is crucial to public interest

  • Disclosure may put the source at risk

  • Editors approve the confidentiality
    We always verify anonymous claims independently.

Verification Standards

Before publication:

  • Facts must be cross-checked

  • Quotes are verified

  • Claims must have supporting evidence

We never fabricate names, details, sources, or quotes.
