Fact-Checking Policy

JaunpurVarta.com is committed to providing its readers with accurate, fair and reliable news. Before publishing any news story, we carefully verify the facts and do not publish misleading, fabricated or unverified information. Our fact-checking process is transparent, responsible and in line with professional journalistic standards.

1. Verification of Sources

Before publishing any news, we verify the authenticity of the source. We rely mainly on the following types of credible sources:

• Official government documents, notifications and press releases
• Statements from police, administration and other government departments
• Direct statements from authorized officials or representatives
• Recognized news agencies and accredited media organizations
• Verified eyewitness accounts and people present at the scene
• Official records of courts and government departments

Information from anonymous, doubtful or unauthorized sources is not published without adequate verification.

2. Cross-Checking of Information

For important or sensitive news stories, we cross-check the information with multiple credible sources before publishing. A piece of information is considered reliable only when:

• It matches with at least two credible and independent sources, or
• It is supported by official records or statements, or
• It is confirmed through direct reporting from the ground or the incident location.

3. Prevention of Misleading or Unverified Content

JaunpurVarta.com does not publish rumors, unverified social media forwards, assumptions or half-verified claims as news. If any information is still under verification, we clearly mention that the details are subject to official confirmation.

4. Corrections and Updates

If any factual error is found in a published article, we:

• Correct the mistake as soon as possible
• Add an appropriate note indicating that the article has been updated or corrected
• Ensure that readers receive the most accurate and updated information

We consider the acknowledgment and correction of mistakes as an essential part of ethical journalism.

5. Transparency of Information

Wherever possible, we clearly indicate:

• From which source the information has been obtained
• Which official or representative has given a particular statement
• The source of photos, videos or documents used in the news

JaunpurVarta.com does not intentionally hide or misrepresent the sources of its information.

6. Independence and Neutrality

Our editorial and fact-checking decisions are independent and not influenced by any political party, individual, organization or advertiser. Our priority remains:

• Facts

We strive to present all sides of an issue fairly and avoid taking biased positions in our reporting.

8. Verification of Social Media Content

We do not publish viral social media content (videos, photos, posts or claims) as news without proper verification. For such content, we:

• Try to identify the original source

If any viral content is found to be misleading or false, we avoid amplifying it and may publish an explanatory or debunking report instead.
