At WorldDiscus.com, we prioritize the trust of our audience. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the foundation of that trust, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy in all our content.
Commitment to Accuracy
We define “due accuracy” as not just meeting standards, but also ensuring readers feel confident in our reporting. We consider the topic, type of information, and audience expectations to maintain accuracy.
Thorough Investigation
We aim to present the most reliable information by consulting immediate stakeholders and critically examining claims. While some areas may remain unclear, we make every effort to provide accurate reporting.
Diverse Standards
We understand that fact-checking standards can differ depending on the type of content. For instance, an article on an NGO’s achievements requires different sources than an investigative report.
Guidelines for Ensuring Accuracy
Reliable Sources:
We base all content on trustworthy sources and verifiable data. When direct sources are unavailable, we credit the platform from which the information was obtained.
Verification of Claims:
We validate claims and facts whenever possible. Information that cannot be independently confirmed is clearly noted.
Corrections Policy:
If we find errors, we correct them promptly and inform readers transparently.
No Intentional Misinformation:
We never deliberately mislead, alter, or fabricate information. Major errors are openly acknowledged and corrected quickly.
Encouraging Reader Feedback:
Every article includes a “Suggest A Correction” option, allowing readers to report inaccuracies.
Fact-Checking Methodology
Our journalists are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking. Articles undergo internal review and editor evaluation depending on the complexity and sensitivity of the topic.
Engagement with Sources:
We reach out to all relevant parties to validate information independently and ensure accuracy.
Enhanced Fact-Checking Process:
We consult experts when needed and follow a transparent review process for all content.
Information Sources for Our Content
Verification:
Every fact is checked against at least two sources. Single-source information is verified separately.
Documentation Over Human Sources:
We prioritize documented evidence rather than relying solely on individuals.
Transparency in Surveys:
We explain how survey data is collected and analyzed, and disclose any possible discrepancies.
Record of Sources:
We aim to use on-the-record sources and provide context about their credibility.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content requires careful verification. We do not assume it is accurate and clearly label it as such.
Source Verification:
Online information is verified with relevant individuals or organizations when possible.
Fact vs. Rumor:
We clearly separate verified facts from unconfirmed rumors, especially on social media.
Responsibility for Accuracy
All factual information on WorldDiscus.com is verified by our dedicated editorial team. While AI may assist in drafting, our team is fully responsible for fact-checking and ensuring accuracy.
