Trust and corrections
World Monitor labels how widely a story is covered, never whether it is true. This page explains the labels, shows how many stories carry each one today, and lists every recent change to a label in the open.

How the labels work
- Corroborated
- Two or more independent publisher families carry the story, not all of them tier 4. Outlets with one owner count once.
- Single publisher
- One publisher family carries it. That says nothing about whether it is wrong; many true stories start with one outlet.
- Tier 4 only
- Two or more families carry it, but every one is a declared aggregator or blog.
- Not enough evidence
- The digest could not tell who carries it. An undeclared tier is never treated as tier 4.
- Source tiers
- 1 wire services and official bodies, 2 major outlets, 3 specialist, regional and think-tank sources, 4 aggregators and blogs. The tier table.
- CRED score
- A 0–100 credibility score built from propaganda risk (half), source tier and independent corroboration: low below 40, medium 40–69, high from 70. State-controlled outlets are capped at 40. How it is calculated.
Corrections to datasets and methods are listed in the revision and corrections log.
