Fact-Checking Policy
Tejal Media
At Tejal Media, we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable, and unbiased news. Our fact-checking policy outlines the standards and procedures we follow to ensure our journalism is based on verified information and sound evidence.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
We believe that factual accuracy is the foundation of trustworthy journalism. Every piece of content published by Tejal Media is carefully reviewed to ensure it is:
-
Factually correct
-
Based on credible sources
-
Presented in proper context
-
Free from misleading or manipulated information
2. Sources and Verification
Our editorial team follows these guidelines to verify facts:
-
We prioritize primary sources (official documents, direct interviews, press releases) over secondary ones.
-
We cross-check information with multiple credible sources wherever possible.
-
In the case of breaking news, we update stories as more confirmed details become available.
-
We identify anonymous sources only when necessary and ensure they are reliable.
3. Expert Consultation
When covering complex or technical subjects (e.g., health, law, economics), we consult qualified experts to interpret information accurately and responsibly.
4. Corrections and Updates
Despite our best efforts, errors can occur. When we are notified of a potential error or identify one ourselves, we:
-
Investigate the claim promptly
-
Make corrections clearly and transparently
-
Include a correction note or update timestamp where appropriate
You can report possible errors to us at: [Insert Contact Email]
5. Editorial Independence
Fact-checking is performed independently of advertisers, sponsors, or outside influence. Our editorial decisions are made in the public interest, free from conflicts of interest or political pressure.
6. Use of AI and Automation
If AI tools are used in our reporting (e.g., for data analysis or transcription), all outputs are manually reviewed and verified by human editors before publication.
7. Transparency
We strive to be transparent about:
-
Who we are (bylines and credentials)
-
How information was gathered
-
What sources were used
-
What we do when we make a mistake
8. Reader Involvement
We encourage readers to participate in the fact-checking process by:

Flagging potentially misleading information
