At nimdurgapur.in, we understand that trustworthy journalism begins with verified facts. Our Fact-Checking Policy outlines how we ensure the accuracy of our reporting, the standards we apply to all published content, and the steps we take to correct errors transparently.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
We are committed to publishing accurate and reliable news content across all categories, including regional stories, national developments, and global issues. Every piece of information we publish goes through a verification process to ensure its credibility.
2. Verification Process
- All facts, statistics, quotes, and claims are verified by our editorial team before publication.
- Writers are required to cite sources for all non-obvious claims or data used in an article.
- Where possible, we refer to primary sources such as official press releases, government publications, academic journals, and direct interviews.
- In cases of breaking news, we clearly label the information as “developing” and update it as more confirmed details become available.
3. Use of Sources
We evaluate all sources based on their credibility, relevance, and proximity to the story. We prioritize:
- Primary Sources: Official government statements, public records, legal documents, direct quotes, and on-the-ground reporting.
- Secondary Sources: Reputable news outlets, academic research, or expert commentary — clearly cited and credited.
- Anonymous Sources: Used only when essential and vetted by senior editors. The reason for anonymity is disclosed when appropriate.
4. AI and Automation
We may use AI tools for editorial assistance such as grammar suggestions, metadata tagging, or summarization. However, fact-checking is always conducted manually by experienced editors to ensure human oversight and journalistic responsibility.
5. Handling Errors and Corrections
- If a factual error is discovered in any published content, we promptly update the article and issue a correction note with a timestamp.
- Significant corrections are clearly labeled to maintain transparency with readers.
- Readers can report potential errors by contacting our editorial team via email.
6. Reader Involvement
We value feedback from our audience and encourage readers to notify us of any inaccuracies or inconsistencies they encounter. You can reach our editorial team at:
- Email: [email protected]
- General Inquiries: [email protected]
7. Continuous Review
We regularly review our fact-checking process to adapt to evolving standards in journalism and digital publishing. This policy is updated as needed to reflect changes in editorial tools, best practices, or platform guidelines.
At nimdurgapur.in, we believe facts are the foundation of journalism. Through transparency, diligence, and integrity, we work every day to earn your trust.
