At DPC News, we take pride in publishing content that is accurate, fair, and trustworthy. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines our internal editorial standards, verification processes, and ethical approach to ensure all information presented on our platform meets the highest journalistic integrity.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is the foundation of public trust. Our goal is to deliver verified and balanced news coverage. We define “due accuracy” as not just factual correctness, but also relevance and context appropriate to the subject and expectations of our readers.
We strive to:
- Present verified facts from reliable and credible sources.
- Maintain neutrality and objectivity in our reporting.
- Avoid speculation or unconfirmed claims.
2. Our Fact-Checking Process
Before any content is published:
- Verification: All facts are checked using at least two credible sources.
- Cross-checking: Claims are cross-verified with official records, documents, or primary stakeholders.
- Editorial Review: Each report goes through multiple levels of editorial oversight before publication.
If only one source is available, we carefully evaluate its credibility and clearly state this within the report.
3. Use of Anonymous Sources
If anonymity is required:
- We explain why the source is not named.
- Editors are made aware of the source’s background to judge reliability.
- We aim to provide as much contextual clarity as possible to our readers.
4. Corrections and Updates
If we find factual errors after publication:
- We promptly correct the content.
- A clear note is added indicating that changes were made.
- Our goal is transparency and accountability to the audience.
5. Handling Allegations
In cases involving allegations:
- We always reach out to all involved parties for comment.
- Reports are only published after fair opportunity is given to respond.
- If a response is not received, we clarify that attempts were made.
6. User-Generated Content
Content from users, social media, or other public sources is handled cautiously:
- We verify user-submitted material before featuring it in news stories.
- Social media content is cross-checked and labeled when not collected by our team.
- We distinguish between facts, opinions, and rumors, especially for viral or sensitive content.
7. Data and Survey Integrity
For reports based on surveys or statistics:
- We disclose methodology, sample size, and interpretation logic.
- Any potential bias or limitation is clearly conveyed to readers.
8. Source Diversity and Fair Access
We actively seek a balance of perspectives:
- Giving voice to both influential and underrepresented sources.
- Encouraging input from individuals with firsthand knowledge, not just official channels.
9. Internal Escalation
If there’s any doubt about a piece of information:
- Journalists and editors consult senior editorial staff.
- No story is rushed for publishing at the cost of accuracy.
10. Public Feedback and Corrections
Readers can report inaccuracies by using the “Suggest a Correction” option found at the end of each article. We value public input and respond promptly to valid concerns.
