Fact-Checking Policy

Online38Media treats factual verification as a core part of the publishing process, especially for fast-moving news and topics involving money, government policy, technology, safety or other decisions that may affect readers.

Source hierarchy

Whenever practical, we start with primary material such as official government pages, regulatory notices, court documents, company filings, earnings releases, product documentation, research papers and direct public statements. Reputable secondary reporting may be used to add context or confirm developments.

What we check

Before publication we aim to verify names, dates, locations, numerical figures, quotations, policy details, deadlines, eligibility rules, prices and the status of any announcement described as official. Claims that cannot be confirmed are described with appropriate attribution or omitted.

Breaking news

Early information can be incomplete. We distinguish confirmed facts from allegations, estimates, forecasts and opinion. Articles are updated when credible new information materially changes the story.

Artificial intelligence

AI tools may assist with research organization, drafting, formatting or workflow. AI output is not treated as a factual source. Verifiable claims should be checked against reliable source material before publication.
