Fact-Checking Policy – ApnaSamachaar.com
At ApnaSamachaar.com, we are deeply committed to publishing accurate, well-sourced, and responsible journalism. Accuracy is not just an editorial goal; it’s the foundation of the trust we aim to build with our readers.
a) Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that every article published is based on verified facts. Before publishing, all claims are examined with skepticism, assumptions are questioned, and all sources are evaluated carefully.
b) Due Accuracy
We aim for “due accuracy” — meaning the accuracy must be appropriate and sufficient for the nature and subject of the content. If there are limitations or uncertainties in the information, we make every effort to mention them clearly.
c) Evidence-Based Reporting
All our content is supported by credible sources, available data, and independent verification where necessary. We avoid speculation and clearly state when a fact is uncertain or evolving.
d) Editorial Ethics
We do not plagiarize or deliberately misrepresent facts, images, or context. We uphold strong journalistic integrity in all our reporting.
e) Independent Verification
We verify claims, especially those made by public figures or those with vested interests, by cross-checking with credible third-party sources. When claims cannot be independently verified, we provide clear attribution.
f) Transparency and Corrections
If a factual error is discovered in any of our content, ApnaSamachaar.com is committed to correcting it promptly and transparently. We do not knowingly mislead our readers, nor do we distort facts for sensationalism. We clearly acknowledge and correct serious factual mistakes in all formats where the content appears.
g) Public Feedback
At the end of each article, we provide a “Suggest A Correction” option to enable readers to notify us of any errors or discrepancies. This ensures we remain open and accountable.
Correction Policy – ApnaSamachaar.com
Although we aim for 100% accuracy, we recognize that mistakes may occur. When they do, we take full responsibility and correct them promptly across all platforms.
