Fact-Checking Policy – OdishaNewsPost

At OdishaNewsPost, we are committed to publishing accurate, reliable, and trustworthy news. Accuracy is the foundation of our credibility, and we take several measures to ensure our reporting meets the highest journalistic standards.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

1. Rigorous Verification – Every piece of information we publish is verified against multiple credible sources before being reported.

2. Transparency – We are open about what we know and what we do not know, avoiding speculation or unfounded assumptions.

3. Source Evaluation – Claims, allegations, and statements—particularly from public officials or sources with vested interests—are independently verified before inclusion in our stories.

4. No Plagiarism or Misrepresentation – Our journalists never distort facts, misrepresent context, or plagiarize content. Visuals are also verified before use.

5. Prompt Corrections – If an error is identified, we update the information as quickly as possible and clearly communicate the correction to our readers.

Role of Our Journalists

• Our reporters are responsible for fact-checking, verifying, and sourcing news stories.

• Stories are reviewed by editors before publication.

• For sensitive or complex stories, a deeper fact-checking process is carried out.

• The extent of fact-checking varies depending on deadlines, complexity, and story significance.
