Fact-Checking Policy

At starmallkolkata.in, we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information to our readers. In today’s fast-paced digital world, misinformation spreads quickly, and finding verified facts can be challenging. To ensure that every article, update, or news item published on our website is correct, we follow a strong and carefully designed fact-checking process.

Our goal is simple: to deliver true, unbiased, and trustworthy information that you can rely on without hesitation.

1. Verification Process

Before publishing any content, our editorial team thoroughly verifies every detail.
We cross-check facts using multiple credible sources to ensure complete accuracy.

For example:

  • If we cover government schemes, we verify from official sources such as government websites, press releases, and department officials.
  • For news related to events or incidents, we rely on credible news agencies, on-ground reporters, or direct communication with the individuals involved.

This multi-layered verification helps prevent the spread of inaccurate or misleading information.

2. Importance of Primary Sources

Primary sources form the backbone of our fact-checking system.
These include:

  • Government documents
  • Official statements
  • Eyewitness accounts
  • Verified reports and statistical data from recognized institutions

If an article requires data from a report, we use official publications like government records or authenticated research papers.
If a primary source is unavailable, we clearly mention the source we used and the verification steps we followed.
This ensures complete honesty and transparency with our readers.

3. Corrections and Updates

We acknowledge that mistakes can happen.
If an error is found in any published content, we correct it immediately.

Corrections are added:

  • At the beginning or end of the article
  • Or clearly noted within the updated content

We state:

  • What the error was
  • What correction was made

This approach maintains transparency and strengthens the trust between us and our readers.

4. Transparency and Communication

We believe open communication builds credibility.
If you notice any information that seems incorrect, incomplete, or unclear, we encourage you to contact us.
