At Theglobalsinfo.com, we understand that the trust of our audience is paramount. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the cornerstone of that trust, and we are dedicated to achieving the highest standards of accuracy in all our content.
Commitment to Accuracy
We define “due accuracy” as not only meeting required standards but also ensuring overall satisfaction with our reporting. In our pursuit of accuracy, we consider various factors, including the topic, type of information provided, and audience expectations.
- Thorough Investigation:
We strive to present the most accurate account supported by the immediate stakeholders involved in the news. Our team critically investigates claims, questions assumptions, and challenges received wisdom, although some areas may remain unclear despite our best efforts. - Diverse Standards:
We recognize that the standards for fact-checking can vary between types of articles. For example, the sources required for an article about an NGO’s achievements will differ from those needed for an investigative piece.
Guidelines for Ensuring Accuracy
To ensure the accuracy of our content, we adhere to the following guidelines:
- Reliable Sources:
We ensure that every piece of content is based on trustworthy sources and verifiable data. If direct sources are not available, we will credit the platform from which the information is sourced. - Verification of Claims:
We make every effort to validate claims, accusations, or facts attributed to public authorities or other sources. Any information that cannot be independently verified will be clearly disclaimed. - Corrections Policy:
If we discover inaccuracies in our material, we will correct them as soon as possible and notify our readers of the changes in a transparent manner. - No Intentional Misinformation:
We make it a priority not to intentionally mislead, alter information, or present fabricated material as true. When significant errors are identified, we will openly acknowledge and correct them promptly. - Encouraging Reader Feedback:
Each article features a “Suggest A Correction” section, allowing readers to report any errors or inaccuracies.
Fact-Checking Methodology
Our journalists are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking news and information. Each article undergoes rigorous internal fact-checking, followed by evaluation by one or more editors, based on the complexity and sensitivity of the topic.
- Engagement with Sources:
We reach out to all relevant parties who may be affected by allegations to validate information independently and ensure accuracy. - Enhanced Fact-Checking Process:
We are committed to strengthening our accuracy through a detailed fact-checking methodology. This includes consulting subject matter experts when necessary and adopting a transparent review process for all information.
Information Sources for Our Content
To source information accurately, we adhere to the following principles:
- Verification:
Every piece of information is verified by at least two different sources. If there is only one source, its assertions must be confirmed. - Documentation Over Human Sources:
We prioritize documented evidence rather than relying solely on human sources. - Transparency in Surveys:
We disclose how survey data was collected and analyzed, and we inform our audience of any potential discrepancies. - Record of Sources:
We strive to gather information from on-the-record sources and provide readers with context about these sources’ credibility.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content presents unique challenges. We do not take this information at face value and take reasonable measures to confirm its accuracy. We clearly label user-generated content as such and adhere to the following guidelines:
- Source Verification:
Information that appears trustworthy online may not always be accurate. We verify information with individuals or organizations when applicable. - Fact vs. Rumor:
We carefully distinguish between fact and rumor, particularly with content from social media where inaccuracies may spread rapidly.
Responsibility for Accuracy
All factual information at Theglobalsinfo.com is thoroughly checked and verified by our dedicated team. While we may utilize AI for assistance in drafting, the responsibility for fact-checking and ensuring accuracy lies solely with our editorial team.
