We are committed to delivering accurate, reliable, and balanced news to our readers. This policy explains how we verify facts, check claims, and correct misinformation.
1. What It Covers
This policy applies to all content we publish on our website, app, print edition, and social media. It includes fact-checks of public statements, viral posts, and queries sent by readers.
2. How We Verify Facts
Our journalists follow strict standards:
• We confirm every key fact using at least two independent and reliable sources whenever possible.
• We clearly mention our sources (official records, documents, experts, or eyewitnesses).
• We present facts in their full context to avoid any distortion.
• We never rely on anonymous or untraceable sources.
• We use tools like reverse image search, metadata checks, geolocation, and official databases for verification.
3. Our Fact-Checking Process
• Spot the Claim: We select claims that matter to the public or could spread misinformation.
• Research: A fact-checker collects evidence and verifies it thoroughly.
• Rating: We rate the claim as True, Mostly True, Partly True, False, or Misleading.
• Review: A senior editor checks every fact-check before it is published.
• Publication: The final report explains our methods, lists sources, and provides full context so readers can understand our conclusion.
4. Independence
Our fact-checking team works independently. We do not accept any funding or sponsorship that could influence our reporting. Decisions are based only on evidence.
5. Reader Involvement
We welcome your help! If you spot a doubtful claim or want something verified, email us at: info@lagatar.in Feel free to share evidence or point out any errors in our reports.
