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• No Assumptions: We do not publish unverified claims or rumors.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.
Code of Ethics – MP Samachar
“Journalism with Responsibility, Honesty, and Courage.”
At MP Samachar, we believe that journalism is not just about reporting news, but about serving the public with integrity, accuracy, and accountability. Our Code of Ethics guides every journalist, editor, and contributor in maintaining the highest standards of professional conduct.
1. Truth and Accuracy
We are committed to reporting facts with honesty and clarity. Every piece of news is verified before publication. We avoid exaggeration, sensationalism, and misinformation.
2. Independence
Our journalism is free from political, corporate, or personal influence. We do not accept favors or bribes that may affect our objectivity. Editorial independence is at the core of everything we do.
3. Fairness and Balance
We present all sides of a story. Every individual or organization mentioned in our reports is given a fair opportunity to respond. Bias and prejudice have no place in our work.
4. Accountability
We take full responsibility for our content. If we make a mistake, we correct it transparently. Our credibility is built on acknowledging errors and learning from them.
5. Respect for Privacy
We respect the personal privacy of individuals unless there is a clear public interest in disclosure. We do not publish defamatory or intrusive content.
6. No Hate or Discrimination
We strictly avoid any content that promotes hate, violence, or discrimination based on religion, caste, gender, language, or region.
7. Public Interest First
We work for the people. Our stories are chosen not for popularity, but for their relevance and importance to society.
