Fact Checking Policy

At DebunkedDaily, accuracy and verification are central to our journalism. This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify information before and after publication to ensure reliable reporting.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

We are committed to publishing content that is factual, verifiable, and responsibly sourced. Every reasonable effort is made to confirm the accuracy of information prior to publication.

Fact-Checking Process

Our fact-checking process may include:

  1. Verifying facts using multiple credible sources
  2. Cross-checking names, dates, figures, locations, and quotations
  3. Reviewing official statements, documents, or data where available
  4. Ensuring headlines accurately reflect the content of the article
  5. Evaluating the credibility of sources before use

For breaking news, information is published only when reasonably verified and is updated as additional confirmed details emerge.

Sources & Verification

We prioritise the use of reliable sources, including:

  1. Official government or institutional sources
  2. Reputable news organisations
  3. Subject-matter experts
  4. Verified data, reports, and public records

Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when justified by public interest.

Handling Misinformation

We actively avoid publishing unverified claims, rumours, or misleading information. If misinformation is identified within our content, it is addressed promptly through corrections or updates.

Corrections & Updates

If an error is discovered after publication, we correct it transparently in accordance with our Corrections & Updates Policy. Significant corrections are clearly noted to maintain reader trust.

Reader-Submitted Corrections

We encourage readers to report potential inaccuracies. Correction requests should include:

  1. The article title or URL
  2. A clear description of the issue
  3. Supporting evidence or reliable sources, if available

All requests are reviewed by our editorial team.

Fact-Checking of Opinion Content

Opinion and analysis content is clearly labelled. While opinions reflect the author’s viewpoint, factual claims within such content are still subject to verification.

Use of Technology & AI

Digital tools, including AI, may assist in research or drafting, but human editorial review is required before publication to ensure factual accuracy and context.

Policy Updates

This Fact-Checking Policy may be updated periodically to reflect improvements in verification practices or industry standards. Any changes will be published on this page.
