Fact-Checking Policy

Capital Chronicle is built on a tradition and a vision of accurate, credible, and transparent journalism. Our Fact-Checking Policy helps to ensure that the information we provide to our readers is researched and supported by evidence. Here's how it works.

Verification Process:

Trained journalists meticulously fact-check all news, opinion, and editorial content against at least three credible sources.

We always aim to rely on primary sources - official statements, government reports, expert interviews, and eyewitness accounts - where possible.

Credible Sources:

We look for news sources based on reliable information provided by well-known and possibly long-standing news organizations, governments and government agencies, educational institutions, and subject matter experts.

Information from social media or unofficial sources is vetted against verifiable sources.

Corroboration and Cross-Referencing:

Supporting claims, quotes, statistics, and other facts are checked and sourced.

Any examples of misinformation revealed in the fact-checking process are carefully investigated and subsequently corrected.

Attribution and Accountability:

We ascribe the information to its source - where possible. Our readers know where certain information came from.

Journalists and contributors are expected to work accurately and face corrections if they are caught out.

Timeliness and Updates:

We understand that news can change; they might be updated if new details emerge. If you see something that shouldn't be there, please contact us.

A note will be attached to the relevant article, confirming the mistake, explaining what was wrong, and presenting the facts.

Reader Engagement:

We welcome input and feedback from our readers about the accuracy of our reporting. Please notify us if you find any inaccuracies or for any concerns while consuming our news.

Your feedback helps us fact-check and makes us better.

Editorial Oversight:

Our fact-checking team edits the articles to ensure they follow Capital Chronicle's accuracy, fairness, and objectivity standards.

Decisions regarding the editorial process are made autonomously and are not subject to the influence of advertisers, sponsors, or political leanings.

In adhering to these principles and practicing these procedures as outlined in our Fact-Checking Policy below, Capital Chronicle endeavors to bring its readers news that can be trusted.
