Fact-Checking Policy

a) The infodatanews 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.

c) This means all our output, as appropriate to its content and nature, must be well-sourced, based on available evidence, and corroborated. We strive to be honest and open about what we don’t know and avoid unfounded speculation.

d) we 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.

d) The infodatanews stands by the information it publishes and deems it be accurate. If proven otherwise, we change the news item/information as quickly as possible. We do not knowingly and materially mislead our audiences. We do not distort facts, or present invented material as facts, that can undermine our audiences’ trust in our content. We acknowledge serious factual errors and correct them quickly, clearly and appropriately.

e) We provide a fair opportunity for the public to report any inaccuracies or errors through comments or mail.

Our Correction Policies

While The infodatanews continually strives for excellence and accuracy, we resign the fact that we will occasionally make errors. When these errors are made, Theinfodatanews will take responsibility for correcting the error and will maintain a high level of transparency to be sure all parties are confident that the incorrect information does not spread.

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 us immediately by email.

Email: contactus@infodatanews.com

Sub: Correction Needed

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.

SOCIAL MEDIA:
If the article was posted on Facebook, Twitter or any other online medium controlled by The  infodatanews.com a post will be made linking to the corrected article, noting the correction.

Once the correction is made, we will contact the reader who submitted the correction and inform them the steps that were taken to correct the error
