At Daily Edge News, our readers’ trust is our most valuable asset. In an era of rampant misinformation, our commitment to factual accuracy is fundamental to our mission of delivering reliable and credible news. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines the rigorous process we undertake to ensure the integrity of our reporting before it is published.
Our goal is not just to report the news, but to ensure the news we report is true.
Our Fact-Checking Principles
Our journalistic process is guided by a strict set of principles to ensure we get the story right.
Commitment to Accuracy: We are dedicated to verifying all factual claims, statistics, and statements before publication. We believe in precision and context.
Impartiality and Fairness: Our fact-checking is conducted with non-partisanship and objectivity. We present findings fairly and without bias, regardless of the subject or political affiliation.
Transparency of Sources: We are transparent about our sources. We strive to use and cite primary sources, credible data, and named individuals wherever possible so that our readers can see the foundation of our reporting. We grant anonymity to sources only under specific, justified circumstances to protect them from harm.
Our Fact-Checking Methodology
Every news report published by Daily Edge News goes through a structured verification process. Our journalists and editors are responsible for the following steps:
Scrutinizing All Claims: Every factual assertion—from statistics and dates to quotes and technical claims—is questioned and must be verified.
Prioritizing Primary Sources: We make every effort to trace information back to its original source. This includes consulting original research, official documents, court records, and interviewing individuals directly involved in a story.
Multi-Source Verification: For significant or sensitive claims, we require corroboration from at least two independent and credible sources. This helps ensure the information is robust and not based on a single, potentially flawed account.
Consulting Experts: For complex subjects related to science, finance, law, or public policy, we consult with recognized, non-partisan subject-matter experts to ensure our reporting is accurate and well-contextualized, especially within the Indian context.
Review and Oversight: Every article is reviewed by one or more editors before publication. This multi-layered process provides an additional check for accuracy, clarity, and fairness.
Distinguishing Fact from Opinion
We draw a clear line between news reporting and opinion.
News Reports: Our news articles are based on objective, verifiable facts.
Opinion & Editorials: Pieces that contain analysis, commentary, or a specific viewpoint will be clearly labeled as “Opinion,” “Editorial,” or “Analysis” to ensure readers can distinguish them from straight news reporting.
Reader Participation & Corrections
We believe in the power of community accountability. We encourage our readers to bring potential inaccuracies to our attention.
