At SevKendra, accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. Our goal is to provide readers with information that is factual, verified, and free from misinformation. This Fact-Check Policy explains how we verify claims, evaluate sources, and correct inaccuracies.
Our Commitment to Truth
We believe that every piece of information published must be:
- Verified
- Evidence-based
- Sourced from credible authorities
We do not publish rumors, unconfirmed claims, or sensational content without proper verification.
What We Fact-Check
We fact-check:
- Government announcements
- Viral social media claims
- News reports from external sources
- Public statements by officials or organizations
- Data, statistics, and documents related to public interest
- Claims that may mislead or harm the public
If we cannot verify something reliably, we do not publish it.
How We Verify Information
Our fact-checking process includes:
Cross-Verification
We compare information with multiple credible sources such as:
- Government websites
- Official reports and statements
- Recognized news agencies
- Academic or research institutions
- Verified statistical databases
Source Evaluation
Every source is evaluated for:
- Reliability
- Transparency
- Expertise
- Bias or conflict of interest
We avoid anonymous or unverifiable sources unless supported by strong evidence.
Direct Confirmation
Whenever necessary, we contact:
- Officials
- Departments
- Organizations
- Experts
To confirm statements or claims.
How We Present Fact-Checked Content
When publishing fact-checked articles:
- We clearly explain the claim
- Provide evidence proving or disproving it
- Add official references or links
- Use simple, transparent language
- Avoid drama or exaggeration
Our goal is clarity, not sensationalism.
Rating System (If Applicable)
When needed, we may classify claims as:
- True
- Mostly True
- Misleading
- False
- Unverifiable
This helps readers understand the accuracy level of each claim.
Handling Corrections
If a fact-checked article contains an error:
- We review the mistake
- Verify the correct information
- Update the article promptly
- Add a clear correction note
We follow our Corrections Policy for transparency.
Use of AI Tools in Fact-Checking
AI tools may assist with:
- Research
- Drafting
- Finding reference information
But:
- AI does not decide what is factually correct
- Human editors always verify and approve facts
- AI is not used to create or modify evidence
Human judgment is final.
Our Responsibility to Readers
We aim to protect readers from:
- Fake news
- Manipulated narratives
- Misleading information
- Harmful rumors
If you believe we have published inaccurate information, we encourage you to report it.
