Fact-Checking Policy

At NewsPortal5.com, accuracy and credibility are the foundation of our journalism. Our mission is to provide readers with reliable and verified information they can trust. To ensure high editorial standards, we follow a strict fact-checking process before publishing any content.

This policy explains how we verify information, evaluate sources, and correct mistakes when necessary.

Our Fact-Checking Process

Before any article is published, our editorial team performs detailed verification that includes:

  • Reviewing multiple credible and authoritative sources

  • Comparing data and claims from independent references

  • Confirming information through official records, statements, and public documents

  • Using direct interviews or expert input when needed

We do not publish any information that cannot be verified with reliable evidence.

Types of Sources We Use

We rely strictly on trustworthy sources such as:

  • Government websites and public records

  • Reputed international and national news organizations

  • Academic research and expert opinion

  • Company press releases and official publications

  • Direct sources and eyewitness accounts

We avoid using unverified social media posts, rumors, or anonymous statements without supporting proof.

Handling Breaking News

In fast-moving news situations where information is developing:

  • We clearly state when details are still emerging

  • We update the article as new facts are confirmed

  • We avoid speculation and sensational language

Accuracy is always prioritized over speed.

Corrections & Updates

If inaccuracies are identified after publication, we are committed to correcting them promptly.
Corrections may include:

  • Updating or revising content with accurate information

  • Adding notes to explain major corrections

  • Removing incorrect content when necessary

Our updates follow our Corrections Policy for transparency and accountability.

Use of AI & Automated Tools

We may use AI tools to assist with drafting or research, but no article is published without human review.
AI cannot replace editorial judgment, fact verification, or ethical decision-making.

All final content is checked by editors before it appears on the site.

We appreciate public feedback that helps us maintain strong journalistic standards.
