Effective Date: June 24, 2025
At RNS News, we are committed to publishing news and information that is accurate, verified, and trustworthy. This Fact-Checking Policy outlines how we ensure the authenticity and reliability of the content we publish.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
Our team follows a strict process to verify all facts, figures, and statements before publication. Every claim is supported by credible sources such as:
- Official government websites
- Verified press releases
- Academic and research institutions
- Reputed media outlets
2. Pre-Publication Review
All news stories undergo editorial review, during which:
- Factual details are double-checked
- Quotes are verified with recordings or direct sources
- Statistics are cross-referenced with data from authentic databases or institutions
3. Use of Reliable Sources
We prioritize first-hand sources and verified databases. Anonymous or unverified sources are only used when absolutely necessary and with editorial oversight.
4. Corrections and Clarifications
If an error is identified in a published article, we update the article promptly and transparently. A correction notice may be added to explain the changes made.
5. Opinion vs. Fact
We clearly differentiate between:
- News reports (fact-based)
- Opinions or editorials (analysis and viewpoints)
Opinion pieces are labeled as such and do not compromise our factual integrity.
6. Third-Party Content
If we share or syndicate content from third parties, we ensure the source is reputable. We do not tolerate the spread of misinformation, and any flagged content is immediately reviewed.
7. Reader Participation
We encourage our readers to point out potential errors or misinformation by contacting us. Each report is reviewed seriously and addressed appropriately.
8. Editorial Accountability
Our editorial team is accountable for the accuracy and integrity of every article. We conduct regular training on journalism ethics and fact-checking best practices.
