At East News, accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to publishing only verified, evidence-based, and responsibly sourced information. Every news report, analysis, or feature published on EastNews.in goes through a detailed fact-checking and verification process before publication.
Our Verification Process
Our editorial team verifies every piece of information through multiple credible and independent sources. We cross-check facts using:
- Official government or institutional documents and public records
- On-the-record statements, press releases, and verified social media accounts
- Interviews with subject-matter experts or witnesses
- Reputable national and international news agencies
No information is published until it has been independently verified for accuracy and authenticity.
Handling Errors and Corrections
Despite our best efforts, if an error or omission occurs, East News takes prompt corrective action.
When a factual error is confirmed:
- The story is corrected or updated as quickly as possible.
- A correction note is added at the end of the article, describing what was changed and why.
- In serious cases, the original article may be retracted and republished with accurate information.
We believe that acknowledging mistakes openly strengthens transparency and reader trust.
Avoiding Misinformation
We do not publish unverified claims, rumors, or speculative content. Our reporters are required to verify all details before submission, and editors must ensure every claim is supported by credible sources.
Content shared on social media or third-party platforms is not considered factual unless validated by official or primary sources.
Transparency in Sourcing
Whenever possible, we clearly mention the origin of our information — including source names, links, or references. Anonymous sources are used only when absolutely necessary and only if the information is of clear public importance. In such cases, editors must confirm the credibility and motive of the source before publication.
Reader Feedback and Review
We encourage readers to help us uphold our accuracy standards. If you spot an error or misleading claim, please reach out to our editorial team at [email protected]. Verified feedback and factual corrections are taken seriously and acted upon swiftly.
Our Commitment
East News is dedicated to transparent and ethical journalism. By maintaining strict fact-checking standards, we aim to ensure that our readers can rely on every story we publish — confident that it has been verified with care, integrity, and professionalism.
