Our Commitment to Fact-Checking:
Pre-Publication: We employ a multi-layered fact-checking process before publishing any content. This includes:
Internal fact-checking: Editors and journalists are responsible for verifying the accuracy of information through reliable sources, cross-referencing, and consulting with experts.
Third-party fact-checking tools: We may utilize fact-checking databases and verification platforms to corroborate information.
Expert consultation: When necessary, we consult with subject-matter experts to verify claims and ensure factual accuracy.
Post-Publication: We remain vigilant in addressing potential inaccuracies even after publication. This includes:
Monitoring feedback: We encourage readers to submit corrections and fact-checking requests, which are promptly reviewed by our editorial team.
Independent auditing: We may periodically engage with independent fact-checking organizations to audit our content and methods.
Fact-Checking Principles:
Transparency: We strive to be transparent in our fact-checking process. We may include fact-checking notes within articles, link to source materials, and disclose any limitations in our verification efforts.
Non-partisanship: Our fact-checking is conducted with objectivity and impartiality. We do not engage in fact-checking based on political ideology or personal opinions.
Evidence-based: We base our fact-checking on verifiable evidence, such as credible sources, official data, and expert opinions. We avoid relying on hearsay, speculation, or unsubstantiated claims.
Contextual understanding: We recognize that facts can be interpreted differently depending on context. We aim to provide a fair and accurate representation of information within its specific context.
