Verification and Fact-Checking Policy

At Daily News X, accuracy and credibility are fundamental to our reporting. We are committed to fact-checking all content before publication to ensure that our readers receive reliable and truthful information.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

  • We prioritize factual, well-researched, and verified content in all our articles.
  • Our editorial team follows rigorous verification methods to cross-check information from multiple reliable sources.
  • If uncertainties arise, we clearly indicate them rather than making assumptions.

2. Fact-Checking Process

Our fact-checking process involves:

  1. Source Verification – We rely on credible sources, such as official reports, experts, academic studies, and reputable news organizations.
  2. Cross-Referencing – Information is cross-checked with multiple independent sources to confirm accuracy.
  3. Expert Consultation – When necessary, we consult subject matter experts for clarification or deeper analysis.
  4. Avoiding Misinformation – We do not publish unverified rumors, speculation, or misleading content.

3. Identifying Credible Sources

We consider the following criteria when selecting sources:

  • Official & Government Reports – Public records, legal documents, and official statements.
  • Reputable News Outlets – Established media organizations with a history of journalistic integrity.
  • Academic & Research Institutions – Peer-reviewed studies and expert analysis.
  • Firsthand Accounts – Verified interviews, eyewitness reports, and direct communications.

We avoid anonymous, unverified, or biased sources unless the credibility is established through independent verification.

4. Corrections & Updates

If an error is discovered after publication, we take immediate corrective action:

  1. Assessing the Error – Determine whether it is a factual inaccuracy or a minor clarification.
  2. Making the Correction – Update the content and indicate the correction within the article.
  3. Transparency – For major errors, we issue a correction notice at the end of the article.
  4. Reader Notifications – If a significant mistake has been made, we may notify our readers via updates or social media.

Readers can report potential errors by contacting [email protected].

5. Handling Anonymous & User-Submitted Content

  • Anonymous sources are used only when their credibility is thoroughly vetted, and their information is critical to public interest.
  • User-submitted content, such as guest posts or comments, is reviewed for factual accuracy and adherence to our editorial standards.

6. Misinformation & Disinformation Policy

  • We actively work to combat misinformation by debunking false claims when necessary.
  • Articles containing corrections or updates remain accessible, ensuring full transparency.
  • We do not publish content from unreliable sources known for spreading false or misleading information.

8. Editorial Independence & Integrity

  • Our fact-checking and verification processes remain independent of external influences, including advertisers, sponsors, or political affiliations.
  • We do not alter facts to fit a particular narrative or agenda.

At Daily News X, we are committed to earning and maintaining our readers’ trust through rigorous verification and fact-checking.
