Fact-Checking Policy of Eekshanam.com
At Eekshanam.com, accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to publishing news that is factual, verified, fair, and responsible. Every reasonable effort is made to verify information before publication to help our readers make informed decisions based on trustworthy reporting.
This Fact-Checking Policy explains the standards and processes we follow to verify information before and after publication.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is our highest editorial priority.
We strive to:
- Publish truthful and verified information.
- Correct errors promptly and transparently.
- Distinguish facts from opinions.
- Avoid speculation and misinformation.
- Provide context that helps readers understand the complete story.
- Update articles when significant new information becomes available.
Every member of our editorial team shares responsibility for maintaining these standards.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Before publishing an article, our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of the information.
Our review process generally includes:
- Confirming factual statements.
- Verifying names, dates, locations, and figures.
- Reviewing quotations for accuracy.
- Checking official announcements and public records.
- Comparing information with multiple reliable sources where practical.
- Reviewing headlines to ensure they accurately reflect the content.
- Conducting editorial review before publication.
The level of verification may vary depending on the urgency and nature of the news.
Sources We Use
Whenever possible, we rely on credible and authoritative sources, including:
- Government departments and agencies
- Election authorities
- Courts and judicial records
- Police and law enforcement agencies
- Public documents
- Official press releases
- Educational institutions
- Hospitals and public health authorities
- Recognized research organizations
- Industry experts
- Direct interviews
- Accredited news agencies
- Eyewitness accounts supported by verification
Whenever practical, we seek confirmation from more than one reliable source before publishing.
Anonymous Sources
Anonymous or confidential sources may occasionally be used when:
- The information is of significant public interest.
- The source has direct knowledge of the matter.
- Revealing the identity of the source could expose them to legitimate risk.
- The information has been independently verified wherever reasonably possible.
The decision to grant anonymity is made carefully by the editorial team.
Breaking News
Breaking news develops quickly and information may change as events unfold.
During rapidly evolving situations, we:
- Publish only information that has been reasonably verified at the time.
- Clearly indicate when details are preliminary.
- Update articles as additional verified information becomes available.
- Remove or correct inaccurate information as necessary.
We avoid presenting rumors or unverified claims as established facts.
User-Generated Content
Information submitted by readers, social media users, or members of the public is not treated as verified solely because it has been shared online.
Before publishing user-generated material, we may:
- Verify the original source.
- Confirm the date and location.
- Review supporting evidence.
- Contact the individual who submitted the information.
- Compare the information with independent sources.
Social Media Verification
Social media platforms can provide valuable information but are not considered reliable sources on their own.
Content obtained from social media is reviewed carefully before publication.
Whenever possible, we verify:
- The authenticity of the account.
- The origin of photographs or videos.
- The date and location.
- Supporting evidence from independent sources.
- Statements from relevant authorities.
Images and Videos
Photographs and videos published on Eekshanam.com are reviewed whenever reasonably possible.
Our editorial team aims to verify:

We do not knowingly publish manipulated or misleading visual content.
Illustrative images are identified where appropriate.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence tools may assist with tasks such as language improvement, translation, summarization, or formatting.
However:
- AI does not replace editorial judgment.
- Human editors review editorial content before publication.
- Facts are verified through reliable sources.
- Editors remain responsible for published information.
Corrections
If we discover that published information is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, we take appropriate action as quickly as reasonably possible.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
- Correct factual errors.
- Update articles.
- Add clarifications.
- Publish correction notices.
- Remove inaccurate information if necessary.
Our Corrections Policy explains this process in greater detail.
