At indNews.xyz, we are committed to delivering accurate, fair, and balanced news and information. We believe that trustworthy journalism is the foundation of a well-informed society, and we have established a robust fact-checking process to maintain the integrity of our content.

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

Accuracy is at the core of everything we publish. Our editorial team strives to verify all facts before publication through credible sources, data, and firsthand reports. We aim to:

Cross-reference claims with multiple reliable sources.
Attribute all claims, quotations, and figures to verified sources.
Avoid speculation, exaggeration, or misleading headlines.

2. Sources We Rely On

We gather information from a variety of trustworthy and reputable sources, including:

Official government and institutional reports
Academic publications and research
Established news agencies
Expert interviews and firsthand reporting

We prioritize primary sources whenever available and use secondary sources only when vetted and appropriate.

3. Fact-Checking Process

Our editorial process includes the following steps:

Initial Verification: Journalists and writers ensure the accuracy of facts before submission.
Editorial Review: Editors verify claims, statistics, and statements using reliable references.
Cross-Referencing: Content is checked against reputable fact-checking databases and organizations when necessary.
Updates and Corrections: If a factual error is discovered after publication, it is corrected promptly and transparently (see below).

4. Corrections Policy

If we discover an error or if it is brought to our attention, we:

Review the content for accuracy.
Make a clear and timely correction.
Note the correction at the bottom of the article with a timestamp and explanation.

Readers can report factual inaccuracies by emailing us at help@indnews.xyz.

5. Handling Misinformation

We are vigilant about misinformation. Content that is suspected to be misleading or false undergoes additional scrutiny before it is corrected or removed. We avoid amplifying unverified or sensational claims.

6. Independence and Editorial Integrity

Our fact-checking process is editorially independent. We do not allow advertisers, sponsors, or political groups to influence our content or review decisions. Our readers’ trust is our highest priority.
