At Sachcha Samachar, our guiding principle is simple yet powerful: “Truth Above Everything.” In a world where misinformation spreads faster than facts, we are committed to standing as a reliable source of authentic, accurate, and unbiased news.
We understand that every piece of information we publish directly impacts the public’s perception and trust. Therefore, fact-checking is not just a step in our editorial process — it is the core of our journalism.
🔹 Why Fact-Checking Matters
Misinformation can mislead communities, create panic, and even harm democracy. As responsible journalists, our duty is to filter out fake, misleading, or half-true content before it reaches our audience. By implementing a strict fact-checking framework, we ensure that every story published on Sachcha Samachar is credible and trustworthy.
🔹 Our Fact-Checking Process
- Identifying Claims
- Any claim, statistic, statement, or piece of information that could influence public opinion is carefully evaluated.
- We pay special attention to political claims, viral social media posts, health-related information, and public announcements.
- Source Verification
- We only use reliable, verifiable, and authoritative sources.
- Sources include official government reports, court documents, scientific research papers, accredited institutions, and direct interviews with credible experts.
- Anonymous sources are considered only if they provide verifiable evidence.
- Multiple Source Confirmation
- No fact is published based on a single source.
- At least two independent and trustworthy sources are required to confirm important claims.
- Use of Tools & Technology
- For images and videos, we use reverse image searches, metadata analysis, and geolocation tools to verify authenticity.
- For social media content, we trace the original uploader, timeline, and cross-check with official statements.
- Editorial Review
- Every story passes through multiple editorial checks before being published.
- Sensitive, controversial, or high-impact stories undergo an additional fact-verification round by senior editors.
- Continuous Monitoring
- Even after publication, we continue to monitor news stories. If new facts emerge, we update the article with an “Update” or “Correction” tag to maintain transparency.
🔹 What We Avoid
- No Rumors: We never publish unverified news or speculative information.
- No Paid Influence: We do not allow political parties, advertisers, or sponsors to influence our fact-checking process.
- No Hidden Sources: Wherever possible, we disclose the source of our information. If confidentiality is required, we explain why.
- No Bias: Our reporting avoids favoritism or prejudice of any kind.
🔹 Transparency & Accountability
We believe our readers have the right to know not only the news but also how we verified it.
- Major fact-checks include an explanation of our verification process.
- If an error slips through despite our best efforts, we immediately correct it under our Corrections Policy.
- All corrections and updates are marked clearly and openly.
🔹 Role of Our Audience
At Sachcha Samachar, fact-checking is not just our job — it is a shared responsibility.
We invite our readers and viewers to participate in holding us accountable.
- If you find any content on our platform that you believe is false, misleading, or incomplete, please notify us immediately.
