At Taaza Khabar 247 (taazakhabar247.com), our mission is to deliver accurate, reliable, and trustworthy news to our readers. In a world where misinformation can spread quickly, we take fact-checking seriously to ensure you get the facts straight. This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify information, maintain accuracy, and address errors, aligning with the DNPA Code of Ethics and applicable Indian regulations, such as the IT Rules, 2021.
We’re committed to being transparent about our process and welcome your feedback to keep us accountable. If you spot something that doesn’t seem right, let us know, and we’ll investigate promptly.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is at the heart of everything we do at Taaza Khabar 247. Our editorial team works diligently to ensure that every piece of content we publish—whether it’s a news article, opinion piece, or update—is based on verified information from credible sources. We aim to provide you with news that’s not only timely but also factually correct.
We adhere to the DNPA Code of Ethics, which emphasizes truthfulness, fairness, and accountability in digital journalism. Our fact-checking process is designed to minimize errors and maintain your trust.
2. Our Fact-Checking Process
Before any story goes live, it goes through a rigorous fact-checking process. Here’s how we do it:
- Source Verification: We rely on primary sources (e.g., official statements, government reports, court documents) and reputable secondary sources (e.g., established news outlets, academic publications) to verify facts.
- Cross-Checking: Our editors cross-reference information with multiple reliable sources to confirm accuracy. If a claim is uncertain or unverified, we either exclude it or clearly label it as unconfirmed.
- Expert Input: For complex or technical topics, we consult subject-matter experts to ensure our reporting is accurate and well-informed.
- Pre-Publication Review: Every article is reviewed by at least one editor to check for factual accuracy, clarity, and consistency before publication.
- Context and Balance: We strive to present all sides of a story, especially on controversial issues, to avoid bias and ensure fairness.
3. Handling Errors and Corrections
Mistakes can happen, and when they do, we’re committed to fixing them quickly and transparently. If an error is identified—whether by our team or a reader—we follow these steps:
- Verification: We investigate the reported error by reviewing original sources and consulting additional references if needed.
- Correction: For minor errors (e.g., typos, incorrect dates), we update the article and add a note like: “Updated: [Date] for [specific correction].” For significant errors impacting the story’s meaning, we publish a correction notice at the top or bottom of the article, clearly explaining the change.
- Retraction: If an article is found to be substantially inaccurate or misleading, we may remove it and issue a retraction notice explaining why.
- Transparency: All corrections are clearly marked with the date and nature of the change to keep readers informed.
Our Correction Policy (linked here, if available) provides more details on this process.
4. Reporting Inaccuracies
We value your input in keeping our content accurate. If you believe we’ve published incorrect or misleading information, please let us know by:
- Email: Send details to thetaazakhabar247@gmail.com. Include the article URL, a description of the issue, and any supporting evidence (e.g., links to credible sources).
- Contact Form: Use the contact form on our Website (if available) to submit your feedback.
Our team will review your submission and respond within 7 business days, as per the IT Rules, 2021. If needed, we’ll escalate the issue to our Grievance Officer for further investigation.
5. Grievance Redressal
We have a designated Grievance Officer to handle concerns about content accuracy or compliance with the DNPA Code of Ethics and IT Rules, 2021. If you’re not satisfied with our response to a reported inaccuracy, contact the Grievance Officer at thetaazakhabar247@gmail.com. We aim to resolve grievances within 15 days, as required by law.
We also submit monthly compliance reports to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
