Fact-Checking Policy
At TheUnionbrief.com, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and integrity in our reporting. Our aim is to deliver trustworthy and reliable information to our audience. Below is an outline of our fact-checking and correction processes to ensure the credibility of our content.
Commitment to Accuracy
- Thorough Investigation: We approach claims with skepticism, question assumptions, and challenge conventional narratives to provide a balanced perspective.
- Due Accuracy: All published content is expected to be well-sourced, evidence-based, and corroborated. The term “due accuracy” reflects the importance of tailoring the level of scrutiny to the nature of the content. Any constraints impacting accuracy expectations are explicitly acknowledged.
- Transparency in Uncertainty: We openly disclose what we do not know and avoid engaging in unfounded speculation.
Verification Standards
- Independent Verification: Our team seeks independent confirmation for claims, allegations, or significant facts, especially those made by public officials or sources with potential biases.
- No Plagiarism or Distortion: Our journalists never deliberately plagiarize, distort facts, or manipulate context, including visual information.
- Attribution of Unverified Information: Any claims or allegations that cannot be independently verified are attributed to their source.
Editorial Oversight
- Multi-Level Review: All articles undergo a rigorous fact-checking process by our editorial team. Senior editors are involved in reviewing sensitive, complex, or time-critical stories.
- Accountability: TheUnionbrief.com stands by the information it publishes. In case of inaccuracies, we ensure timely corrections to uphold our commitment to transparency and trust.
