Our Goal: To ensure every article reflects factual accuracy, supporting our readers with dependable information.
2. Fact-Checking Process
We employ a structured fact-checking process to verify the accuracy of our content:
- Initial Research: Our editorial team gathers information from credible and reputable sources, including official reports, financial data providers, and industry experts, particularly for share market and economic news.
- Cross-Verification: Facts are cross-checked against multiple independent sources to ensure consistency, especially for statistics and technical details in technology and autos coverage.
- Expert Review: For complex topics (e.g., economic policies or automotive innovations), we consult subject-matter experts to validate the content.
- Internet-Sourced Data: When using data from online sources, we verify its authenticity and provide attribution where required, as noted in our Disclaimer.
- Final Review: Before publication, a senior editor reviews the article to confirm accuracy and compliance with our standards.
