Fact-Checking Policy

a) The News 50 is dedicated to publishing accurate information in all of its content. We take a number of actions to guarantee accuracy, including challenging conventional wisdom, challenging assumptions, and conducting skeptical investigations into claims.

b) We pledge to ensure that all of its output is accurate. This dedication is essential to our standing and audiences’ confidence. The word “due” implies that the accuracy must be sufficient and suitable for the output, taking into consideration the topic and type of content, and that any limitations that might affect that expectation are specifically mentioned or emphasized.

c) This implies that all of our output needs to be properly sourced, supported by the evidence at hand, and appropriate in terms of its nature and content. We make an effort to avoid baseless speculation and to be forthright and honest about what we don’t know.
d) Our journalists never intentionally misrepresent facts or context, including visual information, or plagiarize.

e) We look for independent confirmation from sources to support statements, facts, and accusations, particularly those made by public figures or anyone with a purpose other than simply reporting the facts. It is customary to attribute claims, allegations, material facts, and other content that cannot be verified.

d) The News 50 believes that the information it publishes is accurate and stands by it. We promptly update the news item or information if it is shown to be incorrect. We don’t intentionally and significantly mislead our audiences. We avoid misrepresenting facts or passing off made-up information as fact in order to erode the confidence of our audiences in our work. Serious factual errors are acknowledged and promptly, appropriately, and clearly corrected.

e) The ‘Suggest A Correction’ section at the conclusion of each published web-story gives the public a fair chance to report any errors or inaccuracies in our reporting.

F)Reporting, writing, and fact-checking are the main duties of our journalists. One or more editors may review the stories. For stories that need careful consideration, the News 50 uses a multi-level fact-checking system. Complexity, sensitivity, and time constraints are some of the variables that affect the seniority of editors who evaluate a story before it is published.
