Harry

Harry is the editor of SOMALI UPDATE, an independent title he owns and runs. Ten years in journalism, from reporter to editor, have settled into a set of verification habits he applies to every story. A quote is checked against the recording or transcript it came from. A statement attributed to an organisation is confirmed on that organisation's own channels before it is repeated. A figure is traced to the dataset or filing that first published it, and a photograph is checked for when and where it was actually taken. If any of those checks fails, the claim is left out or clearly marked as unconfirmed. Those habits cover the whole site, which reports news, business, technology, science and sports along with entertainment, lifestyle, travel, auto and gaming for readers around the world. Product claims in the technology, auto and gaming pages are tested in use where Harry can get his hands on the product. Corrections are published under a public policy and noted on the article.
