Fact Check Policy – News Hub Insight (NHI)

At News Hub Insight (NHI), accuracy, credibility and public trust are the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to verifying information before publication and correcting factual errors promptly when they are identified.

Our Commitment

Our editorial team strives to publish news that is:

• Accurate
• Fair
• Balanced
• Verified
• Responsible
• In the public interest

We do not knowingly publish false, misleading or fabricated information.

Verification Process

Before publishing any news report, our editorial team makes reasonable efforts to verify information using one or more of the following sources:

• Official government notifications and press releases
• Court records and public documents
• Statements from authorized officials
• Police and administrative sources
• Educational institutions and recognized organizations
• Direct interviews
• On-ground reporting where feasible
• Multiple independent and reliable sources

Whenever possible, information is cross-verified before publication.

Breaking News

In fast-moving or developing situations, some information may initially be incomplete.

When reporting breaking news:

• We clearly identify developing stories.
• We continue verifying new information as it becomes available.
• Stories are updated when confirmed facts emerge.

Anonymous Sources

Anonymous or confidential sources are used only when:

• Disclosure of identity may expose the source to genuine risk.
• The information is in the public interest.
• The editorial team has assessed the source as credible.
• The information cannot reasonably be obtained through identified sources.

Anonymous sources are never relied upon without editorial scrutiny.

Images, Videos and Social Media

Before publishing user-generated or social media content, we make reasonable efforts to verify:

• Authenticity
• Source
• Date
• Location
• Context

Manipulated, misleading or unverified visual content will not knowingly be presented as factual.

Corrections

If an error is identified after publication:

• It is reviewed by the editorial team.
• Verified factual errors are corrected promptly.
• Significant corrections may include an editor’s note explaining the change.
• Where necessary, misleading content may be updated or removed.

Reader Feedback

Readers are encouraged to report factual inaccuracies.

We welcome constructive feedback and carefully review credible correction requests.

Editorial Independence

Fact-checking decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, political organizations or any external influence.

Accuracy always takes priority over speed.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI tools may be used to assist with drafting, language improvement or formatting.

However:

• AI is not treated as a primary source of factual information.
• Every article is reviewed and verified by a human editor before publication.
• Editorial responsibility remains with News Hub Insight.

Continuous Improvement

Our editorial team regularly reviews internal verification practices and updates procedures to maintain high standards of responsible journalism.
