Fact-Checking Policy

Effective Date: July 2026
Publication: JournosNews
Website: https://journosnews.com


Our Commitment to Verification

At JournosNews, factual accuracy is central to our editorial mission.

Every article is reviewed before publication to ensure that information is supported by reliable sources, presented in the proper context, and attributed transparently.

Our fact-checking process is designed to reduce errors, improve clarity, and maintain the trust of our readers.


Our Verification Process

Before publication, our editorial team reviews articles using a structured verification process appropriate to the type of story being reported.

Depending on the subject matter, verification may include:

  • Confirming facts through official government statements and public records.
  • Reviewing court documents, regulatory filings, and official reports.
  • Cross-checking information with reputable news organizations.
  • Verifying names, dates, locations, statistics, and quotations.
  • Confirming information through primary source documents whenever available.

Our objective is to publish information that is accurate, properly attributed, and supported by credible evidence.


Primary Sources

Whenever reasonably possible, JournosNews prioritizes primary sources over secondary reporting.

Examples of primary sources include:

  • Government agencies
  • Court records
  • Legislative documents
  • Corporate disclosures
  • Official press releases
  • Public databases
  • Academic research
  • Direct interviews and statements

When primary sources are unavailable, we rely on reputable secondary sources and clearly attribute the information.


Attribution Standards

Transparency begins with proper attribution.

We clearly identify the origin of information, including:

  • News agencies
  • Public officials
  • Government institutions
  • Research organizations
  • Companies
  • Academic publications
  • Other credible sources

Direct quotations are reproduced accurately, while paraphrased material preserves the original meaning and context.


Developing News

Breaking news is often based on information that evolves rapidly.

During developing events, our editors continuously review new information as it becomes available.

Articles may be updated to reflect newly verified facts while removing or correcting information that is no longer accurate.

We distinguish between confirmed information and details that are still being verified.


Anonymous Sources

JournosNews prefers information from identifiable sources.

Anonymous sources may be used only when:

  • The information serves a legitimate public interest.
  • Disclosure could place the source at genuine risk.
  • Editors have reasonable confidence in the source’s credibility.
  • The information cannot reasonably be obtained through on-the-record reporting.

Anonymous sources are never used to publish unsupported allegations or speculation.


Artificial Intelligence and Verification

JournosNews may use editorial technologies, including artificial intelligence, to assist with research, language refinement, organization, and workflow efficiency.

However:

  • AI-generated content is never published without human editorial review.
  • AI does not verify facts independently.
  • Editors remain responsible for confirming factual accuracy before publication.
  • Final editorial decisions are always made by human editors.

Technology supports our verification process but does not replace editorial judgment.


Continuous Review

Fact-checking does not end when an article is published.

If new verified information becomes available, articles may be updated to improve accuracy and provide additional context.

When significant factual errors are identified, they are handled in accordance with our Corrections Policy.


Editorial Responsibility

Every member of the JournosNews editorial team shares responsibility for maintaining high standards of accuracy.

Verification is an ongoing editorial process that supports our commitment to responsible journalism, transparency, and public trust.
