Fact-Checking Policy

At Jagmarg News, accuracy is the cornerstone of our journalism. We believe that providing verified, accurate, and unbiased information is our fundamental duty to our readers.

1. Verification Process

Every story published on Jagmarg News goes through a rigorous multi-tier verification process:

• Primary Sources: Reporters are required to gather information from primary sources, including official documents, eyewitnesses, and direct interviews.
• Cross-Verification: All critical claims are cross-checked with at least two independent sources before publication.
• Editorial Review: Before an article goes live, it is reviewed by a Desk Editor or Senior Editor for factual consistency, grammar, and adherence to our ethical guidelines.

2. Dealing with Rumors and Misinformation

In an era of rapid information flow, fake news and rumors spread quickly on social media. Jagmarg News actively debunks viral misinformation. We do not publish unverified viral claims unless it is to explicitly clarify their falsehood using verified data.

3. Sourcing and Attribution

We clearly attribute information to its original source. If data or a quote is taken from another publication, agency, or official handle, we state it explicitly. We prefer named sources to anonymous ones, resorting to anonymity only when the source's safety is at risk and the information is of high public interest.

4. Continuous Training

Our editorial staff and stringers undergo regular training on digital verification techniques, reverse image searching, and identifying deepfakes to maintain the highest standards of reporting.
