How we report.
Sourced.
Every hard-news piece names its sources, on the slide and in the caption, so you can check them yourself.
Labelled.
A confirmed fact carries no tag. Anything less than that says so at the top.
Some of our reels use a synthetic voice. When they do, we say so on screen and in the caption. Spotted a mistake? Write to news@theitalydesk.com or message us on Instagram, and we will correct it.
