Fact-Checking Policy
Core I Solutions (also known as “The New York Times Post” / “We” / “Us” / “Our”) would like to let you know about the care and precaution We take to guarantee that Our information is accurate as required, which is covered by Our fact-checking policy.
Due accuracy in all Our content
The most crucial factor for every journalism platform is the audience’s trust. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the only foundation upon which trust can be built and maintained. It is crucial that We continue to be dedicated to achieving appropriate accuracy in all of Our material to the greatest degree feasible. According to our definition of “due accuracy,” accuracy must not only meet the required norm but also be satisfactory overall. In our quest of proper accuracy, we also take into account other factors including the topic and nature of the material being presented, the audience’s expectations, etc. With every news item, we work to present the most accurate account that is supported by the news’s immediate stakeholders. We look into assertions critically, query presumptions, and contest received knowledge. Despite our best attempts to clear them up, there will always be certain areas of confusion. The standards for fact-checking information for both soft and hard tales vary, nevertheless. For instance, the sources needed for a piece about an NGO’s accomplishments might differ from those needed for an investigative story.
We adhere to the guidance hereinbelow to ensure due accuracy in Our content:
We make sure that every broadcast we make comes from a trustworthy source and is supported by verifiable data. We are required to credit the platform from which the news are sourced when there are no direct sources available. We make an effort to confirm any claims, allegations, or facts ascribed to public authorities or from someone we feel has a reason for doing something more than just reporting an event’s veracity. As a result, we disclaim and qualify any material, including any assertions or accusations that we are unable to substantiate. We firmly believe that the information we present is accurate. If it is discovered that the material is inaccurate, we modify it as soon as it is reasonable to do so and make sure to properly notify our readers of the changes. We are aware that the confidence Our audiences have in Us is crucial. Consequently, it is Our goal to avoid purposefully misinforming anyone and to offer accurate information without editing or fabricating any facts. Furthermore, when significant factual errors are exposed, We openly acknowledge them and make sure they are corrected as soon as is practical in a way that is understandable and acceptable.We make sure that everyone has an equal chance to report any mistakes or inaccuracies found on Our Website by including a “Recommend A Correction” section at the conclusion of every report we provide and publish on Our Website. Our journalists’ primary duties include reporting, writing, and fact-checking news, information, and stories. In reality, each of Our pieces undergoes a comprehensive due diligence process before being evaluated by one or more of Our editors, as part of a strong fact-checking internal system. It is important to note that the seniority of editors who assess stories before they are published on the website varies and relies on a number of circumstances, including the complexity and sensitivity of the subject matter and the pressure of the deadline. We make sure to get in touch with everyone who could be affected by an accusation. Then, in order to get the most accurate result, we independently validate both the relevant information and the information being supplied. Information Sources for Our Content
User-Generated Content
User-generated content possesses inherent challenges. We do not assume that the material shared with Us is accurate and, depending on how We plan to use it, We take reasonable steps to verify the veracity of such content. We are mindful of how to employ information supplied by a member of a lobby group or anyone with a vested interest in the story, rather than a disinterested bystander. We ensure that user-generated content is clearly identified as such. Additionally, We follow the given guidelines: Sources of information which may seem reliable on the internet may not always be duly accurate. It may be necessary to check as to who is running the website and/or confirm with an individual or organisation that the material relevant to them is genuine. Care is taken to distinguish fact from rumour. This is particularly but by no means exclusively, true for material available on social media where distortions may be deliberate or unintended but where error or rumour can spread like wild fire within minutes among the audience around the world, while corrections find it much harder to achieve the same momentum. Additional scrutiny may be necessary where material from a social media site or other internet source is being used to corroborate a fact. We qualify and call-out all material that was not gathered by Us.
