How to evaluate a financial news source
These questions apply to any outlet, including this one:
- Who publishes it, and how is it funded?
- Is sponsored or promotional content clearly labeled?
- Does the article link to primary sources, such as filings or official statements?
- Are news, analysis, and opinion kept visibly separate?
- Does the outlet publish corrections?
Sponsored content and disclosures
Many financial sites carry advertising, affiliate links, or paid placements. Look for labels such as "sponsored" or "advertisement" and for disclosures near the top of an article. If you cannot tell who paid for something, treat it with extra caution.
Where to verify company information
Start with the company's own website. Cross-check with established news coverage and, for public companies, filings in the SEC's EDGAR database. Our history article lists the sources behind each date we publish.
