How we verify

1. We find the original source

We don’t publish what’s “going around”. Before we write, we trace the story back to its origin: the scientific study, the official statement, the public record, the first-hand account. If we can’t find the primary source, the story doesn’t run.

2. We cross-check

A story goes live when it’s backed by a primary official source (a university, a public agency, an international body, a court) or by at least two reliable, independent news organisations.

3. We show our work

Every story carries a verification seal naming its main source, plus a full list of linked sources at the bottom so anyone can check.

4. Images with permission and credit

We use official images released for editorial use, openly licensed pictures and posts embedded from their author’s own account, always credited. Graphics we make ourselves are signed by the Happy News team.

5. What we throw out

• Viral stories with no traceable origin.
• “Miracle cures” and breakthroughs that exist only in a press release with no data.
• Headlines that oversell what a study actually says.
• Advertising dressed up as news.

6. When we get it wrong, we say so

If we make a mistake, we fix it and add a note at the end of the story explaining what changed. Spotted one? Email hola@noticiasfelices.com.
