Fact-Checking & Editorial / News Policy

Fact-Checking Policy of GangnapurHigh.org

Ensuring truth, accuracy, and credibility is central to our work. Here is how we maintain high editorial standards.

Our Fact-Checking Process

  1. Source Verification: We only rely on sources that are credible and verifiable. Multiple sources are used where possible.
  2. Cross-checking: Facts, figures, quotes, and claims are cross-checked against reliable records, documents, interviews, or databases.
  3. Attribution: Information is clearly attributed to its source. If the source is anonymous, we disclose reasons for anonymity.
  4. Corrections: If we discover an error or omission, we act swiftly to correct it. Corrections are clearly labelled.
  5. Pre-publication Review: Headlines, summaries, and content are reviewed for accuracy, balance, and fairness before being published.

Ethical Guidelines

  • Respecting privacy, dignity, and human rights in reporting.
  • Avoiding hate speech, harassment, defamation.
  • Sensitivity in reporting on violence, tragedy, or issues involving minors.
