Source Methodology

At Why How What When, every story starts with comprehensive research before writing begins.

Our editorial team gathers information from multiple credible sources, compares available evidence, and evaluates the reliability of the information before publication.

We believe that trustworthy reporting depends on a transparent and disciplined sourcing process.

Whenever possible, we rely on primary and authoritative sources to support our reporting.

Accuracy is central to our editorial process.

Editors and writers verify names, dates, quotations, statistics, locations, organizations, and factual claims using available evidence before publication.

Information that cannot be sufficiently verified is either excluded or clearly identified as unconfirmed rather than presented as fact.

We strongly prefer sources who are identified by name and affiliation.

Anonymous sources may be used only when the information is of significant public interest, cannot reasonably be obtained otherwise, and originates from individuals with direct knowledge of the matter.

Such information is subject to additional editorial review and corroboration whenever possible.

Social media can provide valuable information, but it also contains misinformation and unverified claims.

We rely primarily on verified accounts, official statements, and independently confirmed content when referencing social platforms.

Viral posts, rumors, or anonymous claims are not treated as reliable evidence without additional verification.

Breaking news and ongoing investigations often evolve as new information emerges.

Our editorial team continually reviews credible updates and revises published articles when significant verified developments occur, ensuring readers have access to the most accurate information available.

Readers deserve journalism that is transparent, accurate, and responsibly sourced.

Every article published by Why How What When reflects our commitment to careful research, independent verification, and editorial integrity.

We believe that asking thoughtful questions, verifying every answer, and citing credible information are essential to building trust with our audience.
