At PS 705 News, accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to publishing truthful, verified, and reliable information. Our fact-checking process is designed to ensure that everything we report is based on credible evidence and presented clearly to our readers.
Our Approach to Fact-Checking
Before any story is published, it goes through a review process that includes verifying facts, dates, quotes, names, and statistics. We cross-reference multiple trustworthy sources and, when possible, contact relevant experts or organizations for confirmation.
Use of Sources
We prioritize primary sources, official documents, and direct statements. When secondary sources are used, we ensure they are reputable and clearly cited. Anonymous sources are only used when essential and must be vetted for reliability and relevance.
Transparency
We are open about how we gather information. When updates or corrections are made, they are clearly marked within the article to maintain transparency with our audience.
Corrections and Updates
If a factual mistake is found in our content, we promptly correct it and make a note of the change. Readers are encouraged to contact us if they believe something we’ve published is inaccurate.
Opinions vs. Verified Facts
We clearly distinguish between news reporting, opinion pieces, and analysis. Fact-checking applies primarily to news stories, but all content must meet our editorial standards for truth and fairness.
Reader Involvement
Our readers are an important part of the fact-checking process. If you spot a possible error or have evidence that something we reported is incorrect, please contact us at:
