1. Commitment to Accuracy
At Bhopal Ki Surkhiyan, our foremost commitment is to provide our readers with accurate, balanced, and trustworthy news. We are dedicated to verifying all factual claims made in our published content. We strive for honesty and clarity and will never knowingly publish false or misleading information.
2. Our Fact-Checking Process
Every piece of content published on “Bhopal Ki Surkhiyan” undergoes a rigorous fact-checking process. This involves:
- Source Verification: Identifying and consulting the original sources for all factual statements, statistics, and quotations. We prioritize primary sources (official documents, direct interviews, expert reports) over secondary or tertiary sources.
- Corroboration: Seeking to confirm information from multiple independent and credible sources. A single, unverified source is rarely sufficient for a major claim.
- Contextual Review: Ensuring that facts are presented in the correct and fair context, preventing misinterpretation or the creation of a misleading narrative.
- Expert Consultation: For complex topics in our specialized categories (e.g., Finance, Health), we may consult experts or refer to established institutional data.
3. Corrections and Transparency
We understand that, despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. Our policy for dealing with inaccuracies is one of speed, clarity, and transparency.
- Reporting Errors: If an error is identified by our team or brought to our attention by a reader, we will investigate the claim immediately.
- Corrective Action: If the information is found to be materially inaccurate, we will promptly correct the error in the published article.
- Correction Notice: For significant factual errors, we will add a clear and transparent Correction Notice to the article, detailing what was wrong and how it was corrected. This notice will be visible to readers.
- Withdrawal: If an article is found to be fundamentally flawed and cannot be corrected (e.g., based entirely on a fabricated premise), it may be withdrawn with a clear explanation.
4. Our Standards for Sources
We maintain high standards for the sources we use:
- Reliability: We prioritize sources with a proven track record of accuracy and a commitment to journalistic standards.
- Impartiality: We are mindful of potential biases in sources and will identify and present them fairly.
- Attribution: All information that is not common knowledge will be properly attributed to its source, giving readers the ability to verify the information themselves.
5. Reader Engagement
We encourage our readers to be active participants in maintaining accuracy.
