What is News Facts?
What Is News Facts?
News Facts is a public interest initiative by Factcenta, created to offer Ghanaians a trustworthy space where the facts of major news stories are presented plainly and without distortion. As part of our broader commitment to combat misinformation and promote media literacy, News Facts focuses on one thing only: the truth of the matter—nothing more, nothing less.
In today’s fast-moving media environment, the line between fact and opinion is often blurred. News is frequently mixed with commentary, speculation, political framing, or social media hype. For the average citizen, this makes it increasingly difficult to know what actually happened. That’s where News Facts comes in.
We take trending national stories—from government policy announcements, political developments, economic updates, and legal decisions, to health advisories and security issues—and break them down into verified, digestible facts. Every piece we publish on News Facts is:
-
Accurately sourced, using only primary and credible news sources.
-
Stripped of spin, emotion, or partisan bias.
-
Written in clear, simple language that anyone can understand.
-
Updated regularly, as new information becomes available.
Why We Created News Facts
Our team at Factcenta believes that a well-informed public is essential to a functioning democracy. But to be well-informed, people need access to factual, unfiltered, and contextually relevant news. News Facts bridges that gap by:
-
Offering clarity in times of confusion, especially when misinformation spreads.
-
Providing citizens with the raw material (facts) they need to make up their own minds.
-
Countering sensationalism with sober, evidence-based reporting.
-
Serving as a quick reference for journalists, students, researchers, and the general public looking for trustworthy information.
We do not add opinions. We do not predict. We do not editorialize.
We simply report the facts.
Our Process
-
Story Selection: We monitor national news coverage and trending topics to identify stories that are of public significance or widespread interest.

Verification: We cross-check facts with original statements, official documents, press releases, data sets, and reputable news reports.
