Fact-Checking Policy

At khabarwala24, we are committed to delivering accurate, verified, and trustworthy news to our readers. In an age of misinformation and rapid digital communication, fact-checking is at the heart of our editorial process. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the methods and principles we follow to ensure the integrity and accuracy of our news content.

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

Accuracy is non-negotiable in our reporting. Every piece of content published on our platform—whether news, features, opinion pieces, or analysis—is subject to thorough fact-checking before it is made public.

We verify all facts using credible, authoritative sources such as:

  • Official government websites and press releases

  • Reputable academic journals and research institutions

  • Direct interviews with primary sources

  • Statements from relevant authorities or organizations

  • Multiple, independent media outlets with a track record of reliability

2. Sources and Verification

We require our journalists and contributors to provide clear sourcing for all factual claims. We prioritize primary sources over secondary ones and give preference to sources that are:

  • Transparent in origin

  • Free from conflict of interest

  • Up-to-date and relevant

  • Published by established institutions or experts in the field

When using anonymous sources (in rare cases), we ensure that:

  • The information provided is critical to the public interest

  • The source is verified independently

  • The editorial team cross-checks the information with at least one more reliable source

3. Fact-Checking Process

Before publication, every article goes through the following fact-checking steps:

  • Initial Verification: Journalists must fact-check their own work before submission.

  • Editorial Review: Editors verify key facts, figures, dates, names, and references.

  • Cross-Referencing: Claims are cross-referenced with multiple sources to confirm consistency.

  • Digital Forensics (if needed): For viral images or videos, tools like reverse image search and metadata analysis are used to verify authenticity.

  • Updates and Revisions: If new facts emerge or errors are identified after publishing, we revise the article promptly and transparently.

4. Use of Fact-Checking Tools and Partners

To enhance the quality of verification, we may use third-party tools and collaborate with independent fact-checking organizations that adhere to international standards such as those set by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).

These tools may include:

  • Google Fact Check Tools

  • Reverse Image Search engines

  • AI-powered content verification platforms

  • Social media monitoring tools for viral misinformation

5. Dealing with Misinformation and Fake News

If an article or information turns out to be false or misleading:

  • We will immediately investigate the claim

  • If verified to be incorrect, we will issue a correction notice clearly stating the error and providing the accurate information

  • In serious cases, a separate retraction or editorial note may be published

  • We will also analyze how the misinformation was included and take steps to prevent future occurrences

6. User Contribution and Fact Alerts

We encourage our readers to be part of the fact-checking process. If you notice any potential error or misinformation on our site, you can contact us directly at mdtajraza123@gmail.com or submit a fact alert via our “Report a Mistake” feature.

All alerts will be:

  • Reviewed by our editorial team within 48 hours

  • Investigated thoroughly and fairly

  • Updated on our platform if proven valid

7. Training and Responsibility

All our journalists and editorial staff undergo regular training in fact-checking techniques, ethical reporting, and media literacy. We maintain a strong internal culture of verification, skepticism, and accountability.

8. Transparency and Accountability

We believe in full transparency about our fact-checking standards. If an article has been fact-checked by an internal or external source, we may mention it at the bottom of the article with a clear label like:

“Fact-Checked by khabarwala24”

9. Conclusion

Our mission is to uphold the truth and empower our readers with factual, verified news. This policy ensures that we continuously strive for the highest standards of journalism, driven by evidence, transparency, and public interest.
