Fact-Check Policy

At Online 38 Media, we believe that truthful and verified information is the foundation of responsible journalism. In an age of misinformation and fake news, our mission is to ensure that every story we publish is accurate, unbiased, and fact-based.

Our Fact-Checking Principles

1. Accuracy First

  • All news is verified using reliable sources before publishing.

  • We cross-check facts with official government records, press releases, or trusted organizations.

  • Anonymous or unverified claims are never published as facts.

2. Multiple Sources

  • We always try to confirm information with at least two independent and credible sources.

  • Preference is given to primary sources such as official statements, court records, and data reports.

3. No Sensationalism

  • We avoid spreading rumors, half-truths, or misleading headlines.

  • News is written in a balanced and neutral tone.

4. Corrections & Updates

  • If an error is found, it will be corrected immediately under our [Correction Policy].

  • Significant factual corrections will be noted at the bottom of the article.

5. Reader Participation

  • We encourage readers to help us by reporting any mistakes or false claims.

  • Feedback is taken seriously and verified quickly.

Fact-Check Process

  1. Verification of Source – We check the credibility of the original source.

  2. Cross-Referencing – Compare the claim with multiple trusted references.

  3. Expert Opinion – For sensitive issues (health, law, finance), we consult domain experts.

  4. Final Review – The editorial team approves the story only after fact verification.
