At mediumseagreen-buffalo-819121.hostingersite.com, we take utmost care to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the content we publish. Our commitment to trustworthy journalism is reflected in this Fact-Checking Policy, which outlines the standards we follow to maintain credibility and editorial integrity.
Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to provide fair, balanced, and well-sourced content that our readers can trust. By “due accuracy,” we mean not only factual correctness but also content that is clear, comprehensive, and in context.
We consider the subject matter, the nature of the content, the expectations of our audience, and the reliability of sources while determining accuracy. We investigate claims with healthy skepticism, acknowledge uncertainty where it exists, and never rush to publish without verification.
Fact-Checking Process
To ensure the highest standards of accuracy:
- We source content from reliable, verified outlets or directly from stakeholders.
- When direct verification isn’t possible, we credit the platform where the information originated.
- All claims, quotes, and statements by public figures or individuals with vested interests are cross-checked.
- If any piece of information is proven to be inaccurate, we promptly update or correct it.
- We never publish misleading or fabricated content.
- Readers can report errors via the “Suggest A Correction” option on our website: https://mediumseagreen-buffalo-819121.hostingersite.com.
Internal Review and Editorial Oversight
- Writers are responsible for fact-checking their own stories before submission.
- Each piece of content goes through multiple levels of editorial scrutiny.
- Senior editors review all sensitive or investigative reports.
- In cases involving allegations, we ensure all parties are given a chance to respond and all details are independently verified.
Source Verification Guidelines
To maintain credibility, our team follows these rules when sourcing content:
- Verify each claim with at least two independent sources.
- When only one source is used, its reliability is evaluated thoroughly.
- Give priority to documents and records over oral statements.
- Clearly disclose and explain the use of anonymous sources.
- Confirm details with sources about confidentiality terms like “off the record” or “on background.”
- Seek out diverse voices, especially from underrepresented communities.
- Consult senior editorial staff when there is uncertainty about any information.
Handling User-Generated Content
We understand the risks associated with user-generated content (UGC), especially from the internet or social media. Here’s how we handle it:
- Verify the authenticity of the content and source.
- Clearly label UGC and distinguish it from our editorial work.
- Apply extra caution when using social media content to avoid spreading misinformation.
- Never use unverified rumors, and always identify unconfirmed content as such.
