Useful explainers
Original, evergreen guides built to help readers understand the story behind the headline.
How Kangaroo Nation checks a story before publishing
We confirm the original source, check the date and key details, find a second reliable source, and verify that every image shows the correct person, place and event.
Read our five-step checkWhy cost-of-living stories need more than a headline
Prices, wages, interest rates and government policy affect households differently. Good reporting separates personal examples from national trends and explains the numbers in plain language.
See what context mattersFederal, state or local: who is responsible for what?
Knowing which level of government controls a service makes political news easier to judge. National defence and immigration are federal; schools and hospitals are mainly state; many local services belong to councils.
Read the quick guideFive checks before we publish
- 1Find the original source
We open the full report and confirm its date, author, names, numbers and location.
- 2Confirm the main claim
Important claims need support from another reliable source or the relevant official body.
- 3Check the exact wording
Opinion is attributed as opinion. We do not turn a politician’s claim into a statement of fact.
- 4Verify the image
Photos must show the right person, event, place and year. AI illustrations are labelled clearly.
- 5Add useful context
Readers deserve to know what is confirmed, what remains uncertain and why the story matters.
Context for cost-of-living coverage
A strong cost-of-living story should name the time period, location and source of every number. It should distinguish between a price increase, the rate of inflation and the total cost paid by a household. It should also explain that renters, mortgage holders, retirees and young workers can experience the same economy very differently.
