About the Fact Drop fact desk
Fact Drop is a daily facts app. The blog is where the facts get read against their sources, one at a time, and this page says who does the reading and how.
Who writes the blog
Posts on the Fact Drop blog carry the byline Juno Lark. It is a pen name, the way a newspaper column can carry one, and it belongs to the Fact Drop fact desk rather than to a single person.
There is no photograph, biography or list of credentials behind the name, because there is nothing of the kind to show. What stands behind each post is the method below and the sources listed at its foot.
How a post is made
- It starts with a fact from the library. Every fact on this site has a source link and a credibility rating, and a post is built around one or more of those facts, never around a claim found elsewhere.
- The desk reads the page the fact rests on. Each quotation in a post was found on the page it links to, on the date given beside it. Where the source and the fact disagree, the post says so, and a fact check can end in mostly or no.
- Numbers come with their source. A figure in a post is followed by a marker to the page it was read from, and the sources list at the foot of the post quotes the sentence that carries it.
- Dates are visible. Every post shows the day it was published, and the day it was last checked when that is later.
What the blog is not
Nobody pays to appear in a post. There are no sponsored posts, no affiliate links and no guest posts. The only product the blog points to is the Fact Drop app, and it says so where it does.
Corrections
If a post gets something wrong, write to hello@factdrop.app with the link and the sentence. The fix goes into the post itself and the updated date moves with it.
