How we manage backlash and criticism

Jorge Capitanich, former Chief of Cabinet of Ministers

Alberto Fernández, former Chief of Cabinet of Ministers

@Chequeado: @alferdez: “Futbol for all costs half of what the Universal Allocation per Child (AUH) costs” ¿Is that true?

@Alferdez: @Chequeado that was what I was talking about. It was to show that the AUH could be adjusted to improve current spending.

Gabriela Cerruti, city legislator

Chequeado: @gabicerru: Buenos Aires pays $280.000per block, double that other cities #WasteCollection #Exaggerated

@GabiCerru: @Chequeado if you want we can go through the numbers together. I think it is you that is wrong. @Gabicerru: where can I send you the data so that you can make the corrections to your piece and admit your mistake? #checkingchequeado

@Chequeado: @gabicerrru the data is checked, but email usat info@chequeado.com we will happily correct it of there is a mistake.

Update on Chequeado’s website with the information Gabriela Cerruti sent.

• We follow a method that is open to our readers on our website

• We call/email the person that we are fact checking to have his/her point of view from the beginning

• As part of our method, we have a procedure for how to act when we make mistakes

• We cover a wide selection of topics and characters

• We are a diverse staff and we read each others work before publishing

• We are very careful in choosing who we work with and the events we participate in

How we face criticism (and have less reasons to be criticized):

Some positive examples: Julio Cobos, former vice-president.

Great work @Chequeado. Indeed, I meant secondary education and I was wrong when I said primary school.
