Fact-Checking Policy – MP Samachar
“Because Truth Deserves Proof.”
At MP Samachar, we are committed to publishing news and information that is accurate, verified, and trustworthy. Fact-checking is an essential part of our editorial process, ensuring that our readers receive content that reflects reality — not rumor, propaganda, or assumption.
1. Our Fact-Checking Principles
• Accuracy First: Every report is checked against multiple reliable sources.
• No Assumptions: We do not publish unverified claims or rumors.
• Transparency: If a story is under development or evolving, we clearly state it.
• Attribution: We always mention sources, and where possible, link to the original data or statement.
2. Source Verification
We rely on:
• Government data and official statements
• Credible news agencies
• On-ground reporting by our verified correspondents
• Expert opinions and domain specialists
3. Use of Technology
We use tools to verify images, videos, and claims circulating on social media (e.g., reverse image search, metadata analysis).
4. Handling Misinformation
If a viral or controversial claim is found to be false or misleading, we:
• Label the content clearly as “False,” “Misleading,” or “Partly True”
• Provide evidence and context to support our assessment
• Update the story if new information emerges
5. Accountability
Our editorial team is responsible for ensuring all content is fact-checked before publication. In case of any oversight, we follow our Corrections Policy to fix errors transparently.
