Fact-Checking Policy for siescollege.in
siescollege.in would like to inform you about the care and caution that We take in order to ensure due accuracy of Our content, which is addressed by Our Fact-Checking Policy.
Due Accuracy in All Our Content
For any journalistic platform, the trust of its audience is the most important aspect. Trust can only be gained and sustained through accurate, fair, and balanced reporting. We are committed to attaining due accuracy in all Our content to the best extent possible.
Our understanding of ‘due accuracy’ means not only achieving the required standard of accuracy but also ensuring it is satisfactory in essence. Factors such as the subject and nature of the information being provided, audience expectations, and reliability of sources are considered in our pursuit of accuracy.
We strive to provide the most accurate information, corroborated by direct stakeholders of the news in every report. We investigate claims with skepticism, question assumptions, and challenge conventional wisdom. We acknowledge areas of uncertainty, which may always exist despite Our best efforts to resolve them.
The level of stringency required to fact-check information varies based on the nature of the story. For example, sources required for a positive story on NGO work will differ from those needed for an investigative report.
Our Fact-Checking Process
To ensure due accuracy, we adhere to the following guidelines:
- We ensure that all content published by us is sourced from reliable sources and supported by concrete, corroborated evidence.
- In the absence of direct sources, we attribute information to the platform from where it is sourced.
- We verify all claims, allegations, and information attributed to public authorities or individuals with a vested interest in the story. If we cannot corroborate such information, we qualify and call it out.
- We stand by the accuracy of our published information. If proven otherwise, we swiftly update or correct the information and duly inform our readers.
- We do not consciously misinform or present made-up information as factual content.
- In cases of serious factual errors, we publicly acknowledge them and rectify them as soon as possible.
- Readers can report inaccuracies or errors via the “Suggest A Correction” section at the end of every report on our website https://siescollege.in/.
Internal Fact-Checking Process
- Our journalists are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking news.
- Every story undergoes multiple levels of scrutiny, including a robust internal fact-checking procedure.
- Editors review all content before publication, with senior editors handling complex or sensitive stories.
- When reporting allegations, we ensure all concerned parties are contacted and independently verify the provided information.
Sourcing Information for Our Content
To maintain accuracy, we follow these guidelines when sourcing information:
- Verify each piece of information with at least two sources.
- If relying on a single source, we ensure its credibility through corroboration.
- Prioritize documentary evidence over human sources whenever possible.
- In the case of surveys, we explain data collection methods and interpretation, highlighting any inconsistencies.
- Aim to obtain accurate information at the first instance rather than publishing and correcting later.
- Whenever possible, obtain information on record from stakeholders.
- Clearly explain why a source is anonymous and provide context to help readers assess reliability.
- Editors and reporters discuss the reliability of sources before using their information.
- Clarify with sources about confidentiality terms like “off the record” and “on background” to avoid misunderstandings.
- Provide individuals the right to respond to stories that may portray them negatively.
- Seek sources from diverse backgrounds, including those with limited public access.
- Consult senior newsroom members in case of uncertainty to avoid misinformation.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content poses verification challenges. We take reasonable steps to verify such content before use. Our approach includes:
- Ensuring material from the internet is reliable by verifying who runs the website and confirming the authenticity of the content.
- Distinguishing fact from rumor, especially in social media content where misinformation can spread quickly.
- Applying additional scrutiny when using social media or internet sources to corroborate facts.
- Clearly identifying user-generated content.
- Qualifying and calling out all material not gathered by us.
