MANCHESTER, N.H. (September 29, 2010) – Two veteran newspaper journalists have launched an online fact verification service – FactVerification.com – to restore a healthy reverence for facts in our media-saturated world.

FactVerification.com offers professional research and fact verification services to any organization or company that wants to publish, post or broadcast a message. Company researchers verify facts through credible sources, and the company posts the details about the verification on www.FactVerification.com.

“Facts are so often distorted, that we decided to launch a service to restore their rightful place in mass communications,” said Mark Hayward, a newspaper reporter of more than 25 years of experience who is one of the principals in the firm. “Nothing counts more than facts. Spin, slogans, style – all mean little compared to solid facts.”
Factverification.com can improve messages put out by anyone, added Hayward, who has worked on newspapers in North Carolina, Maine and New Hampshire. Clients will include public relations firms, corporate marketing departments, contributors to a newspaper op-ed page, public-policy organizations, political groups, even bloggers.

"Newspapers used to be the guardians at the gate in the information world, checking facts and making sure they were correct," said Matt McSorley, who formed the firm with Hayward. But newspapers have fallen on hard times, while information has multiplied immensely, he said.

A veteran of the communications field for nearly 20 years, McSorley has worked on newspapers in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York, and in a communications department for a major New Hampshire non-profit.
“Mark and I are excited about this venture because we continue to do what we've been doing for years – getting correct information out to the people,” he said.
