At Balotra Kesari, accuracy and credibility are the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to publishing truthful, verified, and responsible news content. Our Fact-Checking Policy ensures that every piece of information we share meets the highest editorial and ethical standards.
1. Purpose of Fact-Checking
The main objective of our fact-checking process is to identify, verify, and correct false or misleading claims circulating online or in public discourse. We aim to prevent misinformation and ensure our readers always receive factual, balanced, and reliable news updates.
2. Verification Process
Our editorial team follows a defined, multi-step process for all news items:
- Source Verification: Every piece of content is verified using credible and official sources such as government statements, authorized press releases, RTI records, or direct communication with relevant authorities.
- Cross-Referencing: When appropriate, we confirm facts with multiple sources to avoid single-source dependency.
- Evidence Evaluation: We review photos, videos, documents, public data, and expert opinions to validate content authenticity.
- Internal Review: Before publication, articles undergo editorial scrutiny by senior editors to ensure accuracy, neutrality, and context.
3. Use of References
We rely on information from:
- Government ministries and departments
- Official press briefings or verified social media accounts
- Recognized news agencies
- Subject matter experts and industry professionals
- Publicly available data from credible organizations
Every fact-checked story includes proper source attribution wherever applicable.
4. Correction and Updates
If any factual error is found either by our team or pointed out by readers, we promptly:
- Review and verify the concern.
- Update or correct the story with supporting evidence.
- Mark the correction transparently, mentioning what was changed and why.
Corrections are published in the same article or as a separate post in significant cases.
5. Reader Involvement
We encourage our readers to help us maintain accuracy. If you notice a factual inaccuracy in our reporting or have additional evidence to verify a claim, please contact our editorial team.
