Fact-Checking-Policy
a) The Netখবর is committed to doing its best to publish accurate information across all of its content. We take many steps to ensure accuracy: We investigate claims with scepticism; question assumptions; and challenge conventional wisdom.
b) We are committed to achieving due accuracy in all its output. This commitment is fundamental to our reputation and the trust of audiences. The term ‘due’ means that the accuracy must be adequate and appropriate to the output, taking account of the subject and nature of the content and explicitly mention/underline any constraint that may influence that expectation.
d) Our journalists never plagiarize deliberately or distort facts or context, including visual information knowingly.
e) We seek independent verification from sources to confirm claims, information, allegation, especially those made by public officials or anyone with an agenda beyond merely reporting the truth. Claims, allegations, material facts and other content that cannot be corroborated is normally be attributed.
g) We provide a fair opportunity for the public to report any inaccuracies or errors in our reportage via ‘Suggest A Correction’ section that appears at the end of every web-story that is published.
Our Correction Policies
The following are the steps each party needs to take to achieve the goals of accuracy, transparency and excellence:
READERS:
If a reader spots an error, he or she should contact the editor-in-chief, immediately by email, phone, mail or in person.
Email: dastapajyoti@gmail.com
Sub: Correction Needed
A correction is not officially submitted until the reader contacts the editor-in-chief directly. Corrections submitted to other netkhobor.blogspot.com staff members may not be addressed in a timely manner or at all.
If sent by email or mail, corrections should include the correction, the issue date or number, where the correction was seen (in print, online, etc.) the reader’s name and a phone number or email address they can be contacted at. Readers should also include the correct information and a source for where they found that information, if applicable. For example, if a Student Senate vote tally was incorrect, please provide the minutes from that meeting.
The reader can expect a response from the editor-in-chief and may be contacted further if a clarification is noted or the editor needs more information. Please note that a correction submission is a guarantee that the error will be investigated but not a guarantee that a correction will be issued.
THE netkhobor.blogspot.com
Once the editor-in-chief is made aware of an error, he or she will investigate the error using the information provided by the reader, meeting minutes, reporter’s recordings and any other sources of information available to him or her.
If an error is found, the editor-in-chief will issue a correction in all forms that the information was incorrectly disseminated:
PRINT:
Corrections will be printed on page 2A in the next issue published. The correction will denote the issue, article and incorrect information along with the correction.
