Los principios de Colombiacheck

Colombiacheck es un proyecto de Consejo de Redacción, una organización sin ánimo de lucro, no partidaria, que reúne a más de 100 periodistas asociados en Colombia para promover el periodismo de investigación. El proyecto consiste en una plataforma digital, abierta y colaborativa en la cual se publican artículos basados en la técnica de comprobación de hechos y datos, que proviene de una larga tradición del periodismo anglosajón y se conoce como fact-checking.

Colombiacheck es firmante de la Red Global de Fact-checkers, IFCN, la cual nos certifica como chequeadores que cumplen los principios de dicha comunidad internacional.

En su primera etapa (2016-2018), Colombiacheck revisó con especial énfasis las negociaciones que adelantaban el Gobierno y la guerrilla de las Farc en La Habana, Cuba. Además, el impacto de los acuerdos allí logrados y su ejecución sobre la sociedad colombiana y sus regiones. Una segunda etapa (2018), estuvo enfocada en la verificación del discurso político durante la contienda electoral de ese año para la Presidencia y el Congreso de la República.

Estos enfoques iniciales no son un obstáculo para que este portal pueda aplicar su método de contrastación a las declaraciones sobre otros temas que sean transversales en Colombia. La idea fundamental de aplicar esta técnica periodística no es solamente el desmentido de lo que dicen los personajes públicos, sino que el chequeo también permite arrojar luz y dar mayor amplitud a la información sobre ciertos aspectos relevantes para la sociedad, sin que necesariamente se trate de desmentir una declaración.

Nuestra metodología

Colombiacheck selecciona un discurso público de personajes públicos en general, sin sesgos, ni preferencias por su orientación ideológica, sexual, de raza, o de religión.

El discurso público objeto de chequeo debe haber sido expresado en ámbitos públicos (una red social, un documento público, un boletín de prensa, un medio de comunicación o en un acto público).

No son objeto de verificación opiniones o enunciados de compromisos, a menos de que estén soportados en datos cuya veracidad pueda verificarse. Tampoco son objeto de verificación las afirmaciones de carácter religioso, deportivo o del espectáculo. Colombiacheck no verifica denuncias de corrupción, pues de estas se ocupan las autoridades correspondientes.

Colombiacheck no chequea afirmaciones cuando no existen datos, expertos o fuentes vivas confiables y autorizadas que permitan su verificación, ni cuando los recursos disponibles (tiempo, dinero, personal) no lo permiten.

Colombiacheck no empleará fuentes anónimas. Las fuentes serán identificadas y citadas. Además, siempre que sea posible, se incluirán enlaces a los documentos originales para que los datos sean accesibles. Aclararemos, siempre que sea necesario, la ideología o inclinación política de las fuentes consultadas.

Al consultar expertos, lo haremos con miras a que sus conocimientos, datos e informaciones confirmen o refuten la frase chequeada, no para difundir sus opiniones. Buscaremos mantener una variada y amplia lista de fuentes expertas.

Describiremos la ruta del chequeo, es decir, haremos explícito cómo se realizó un chequeo, para hacer transparente el ejercicio periodístico. Así, cualquier lector que quiera reproducir un chequeo y encontrar los datos originales utilizados, podrá hacerlo y llegará a la misma conclusión.

En ningún caso Colombiacheck emite opiniones. No defendemos ideología alguna, ni realizamos activismo político o de cualquier tipo. Calificamos la afirmación y no a la persona que la dijo.
