At Brnanews.com, we believe that trust is the foundation of every strong relationship between a news platform and its readers. To maintain this trust, we follow a strict and transparent Fact Check Policy that ensures every piece of content we publish is accurate, reliable, and balanced. In today’s fast-moving digital era—where misinformation spreads faster than facts—our commitment to truth becomes even more important. This Fact Check Policy helps us safeguard our readers from misleading claims, rumours, and half-verified information.
Why Our Fact Check Policy Matters
Across social media and online platforms, fake news, manipulated images, and misleading headlines are becoming common. Many people unknowingly share or consume information without checking its authenticity. At Brnanews.com, we aim to break this cycle.
- Our Fact Check Policy ensures:
- Only verified information reaches our readers
- All articles are cross-checked with credible sources
- No bias, manipulation, or sensational content is promoted
- Readers receive clear, straightforward explanations
By implementing a structured approach to verifying information, we help create a more informed and safer online community.
How We Verify Information
Our Fact Check Policy follows a multi-step process:
- Identifying Claims
Every news report, statement, video, or social media post that seems questionable is flagged by our editorial team. A claim is chosen for fact-checking if:
- It affects public interest
- It has gone viral
- It seems misleading or harmful
- It lacks clarity or credibility
This ensures we focus on the most relevant and impactful topics.
- Evaluating the Source
After identifying a claim, our editorial team checks:
- Where the claim originated
- Whether the source is reputable
- Whether the information has been acknowledged by experts
- Whether any official authority has issued a statement
We avoid using anonymous or suspicious sources unless they are supported by verifiable evidence.
- Collecting Evidence
Our Fact Check Policy requires our team to collect information from:
- Government websites
- Reputable news agencies
- Official press releases
- Scientific bodies and institutions
- Subject-matter experts
- Eyewitness accounts (only when verifiable)
We cross-verify every fact using multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
- Verification & Cross-Checking
Once the evidence is collected, the editorial team cross-checks:
- Dates
- Context
- Authenticity of images/videos
- Statements from experts
- Supporting documents
Tools used include reverse image search, official databases, and timestamp checks.
This step ensures no misleading or manipulated information slips through.
- Creating the Fact-Check Report
After completing the verification process, the final report includes:
- The original claim
- Our investigation
- Verified facts
- Clear explanations
- Final verdict (True, False, Misleading, Partly True, Unverified, etc.)
Language is simple to ensure every reader—technical or non-technical—can understand the truth behind the claim.
Updating & Correcting Information
Accuracy does not end with publishing. Sometimes new information becomes available after a story is published. As per our Fact Check Policy, we:
Update articles when new facts emerge
- Add correction notes for any error
- Clearly mention the updated date and details
