Fact-Checking Policy explains the standards and processes we follow to verify information before and after publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Commitment to Accuracy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accuracy is our highest editorial priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We strive to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publish truthful and verified information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correct errors promptly and transparently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distinguish facts from

new information becomes available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every member of our editorial team shares responsibility for maintaining these standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Fact-Checking Process<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before publishing an article, our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our review process generally includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirming factual statements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verifying names, dates, locations, and figures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing quotations for accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Checking official announcements and public records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparing information with multiple reliable sources where practical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing headlines to ensure they accurately reflect the content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conducting editorial review before publication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The level of verification may vary depending on the urgency and nature of the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources We Use<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever possible, we rely on credible and authoritative sources, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Government departments and agencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Election authorities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Courts and judicial records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Police and law enforcement agencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official press releases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hospitals and public health authorities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recognized research organizations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry experts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct interviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accredited news agencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eyewitness accounts supported by verification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever practical, we seek confirmation from more than one reliable source before publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anonymous Sources<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anonymous or confidential sources may occasionally be used when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The information is of significant public interest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The source has direct knowledge of the matter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revealing the identity of the source could expose them to legitimate risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The information has been independently verified wherever reasonably possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to grant anonymity is made carefully by the editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking News<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breaking news develops quickly and information may change as events unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During rapidly evolving situations, we:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publish only information that has been reasonably verified at the time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly indicate when details are preliminary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update articles as additional verified information becomes available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove or correct inaccurate information as necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We avoid presenting rumors or unverified claims as established facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User-Generated Content<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information submitted by readers, social media users, or members of the public is not treated as verified solely because it has been shared online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before publishing user-generated material, we may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify the original source.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the date and location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review supporting evidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact the individual who submitted the information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare the information with independent sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Media Verification<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media platforms can provide valuable information but are not considered reliable sources on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content obtained from social media is reviewed carefully before publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever possible, we verify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The authenticity of the account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The origin of photographs or videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The date and location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting evidence from independent sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statements from relevant authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Images and Videos<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographs and videos published on Eekshanam.com are reviewed whenever reasonably possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our editorial team aims to verify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Authenticity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ownership or licensing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not knowingly publish manipulated or misleading visual content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illustrative images are identified where appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence tools may assist with tasks such as language improvement, translation, summarization, or formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI does not replace editorial judgment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Human editors review editorial content before publication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facts are verified through reliable sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Editors remain responsible for published information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corrections<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we discover that published information is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, we take appropriate action as quickly as reasonably possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the circumstances, we may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correct factual errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update articles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add clarifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publish correction notices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove inaccurate information if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Corrections Policy explains this process in greater detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1
