1. Objective of Fact-Checking

The primary goal of our fact-checking process is to combat misinformation and ensure that our readers access verified and credible news. We focus on:

  • News stories
  • Viral claims on social media
  • Political statements or public announcements
  • Misleading or manipulated content

2. Fact-Checking Process

We follow a clear and structured process to fact-check news and claims:

  1. Identification of Claims:
    • We identify questionable claims, false narratives, or misleading information circulating on social media, mainstream media, or from user submissions.
  2. Research and Verification:
    • Our fact-check team investigates the claim using credible sources such as:
      • Official government reports and statements
      • Credible news organizations
      • Domain experts or independent professionals
      • Reputable databases and research studies
  3. Cross-Referencing Sources:
    • We ensure cross-verification of facts with multiple primary and secondary sources to avoid bias or partial reporting.
  4. Context and Evidence:
    • We present fact-check findings in a clear and transparent manner with supporting evidence such as documents, images, videos, or relevant data.
  5. Conclusion and Rating:
    • Each claim is categorized and rated as:
      • True: Verified with credible evidence.
      • False: Proven incorrect through fact-checking.
      • Misleading: Claims that are partially true but lack full context.
      • Unverified: Claims for which sufficient evidence is not available.
