At Sevakendra.in, we understand that the trust of our audience is essential to our credibility. Accurate, fair, and balanced reporting is the foundation of that trust, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy in all of our content, particularly in government updates, job news, education, and exam-related information.
Commitment to Accuracy
We define “due accuracy” not only as meeting required standards but also as ensuring overall satisfaction with our reporting. In our pursuit of accuracy, we consider several factors, including the topic, type of information provided, and the expectations of our audience.
Thorough Investigation
Our team strives to present the most accurate account possible, supported by the immediate stakeholders involved in the news. We critically investigate claims, question assumptions, and challenge received wisdom. However, we acknowledge that some areas may remain unclear despite our best efforts.
Diverse Standards
We recognize that fact-checking standards may vary depending on the type of article. For example, the sources required for an article about government policies will differ from those needed for an investigative piece on public service examinations.
Guidelines for Ensuring Accuracy
To ensure the accuracy of our content, we follow these key guidelines:
Reliable Sources
Every piece of content is based on trustworthy, verifiable sources. If direct sources are unavailable, we will credit the platform from which the information originates.
Verification of Claims
We make every effort to validate claims, accusations, or facts attributed to public authorities, institutions, or other sources. If any information cannot be independently verified, we will clearly disclaim it.
Corrections Policy
If we discover inaccuracies, we will correct them promptly and notify our readers of the changes transparently.
No Intentional Misinformation
We prioritize not intentionally misleading, altering, or fabricating information. When significant errors are identified, we will openly acknowledge and correct them as soon as possible.
Encouraging Reader Feedback
Each article features a “Suggest A Correction” section, allowing readers to report any potential errors or inaccuracies.
Fact-Checking Methodology
Our journalists are responsible for reporting, writing, and fact-checking the news. Each article undergoes rigorous internal fact-checking, followed by evaluation by editors based on the complexity and sensitivity of the topic.
Engagement with Sources
We actively engage with all relevant parties to independently verify the information and ensure accuracy. This includes reaching out to government bodies, authorities, or other stakeholders when necessary.
Enhanced Fact-Checking Process
We continually improve our accuracy by consulting subject matter experts and adopting a transparent review process for all information shared on our platform.
Information Sources for Our Content
To source information accurately, we adhere to the following principles:
Verification
Every fact is verified by at least two different sources. If we rely on a single source, its assertions must be independently confirmed.
Documentation Over Human Sources
We prioritize documented evidence and official records rather than solely relying on human sources, ensuring a higher standard of accountability.
Transparency in Surveys
When we use survey data, we disclose how it was collected and analyzed, providing our readers with context and any potential discrepancies.
Record of Sources
We ensure that information is gathered from on-the-record sources and provide readers with relevant context about these sources’ credibility.
User-Generated Content
User-generated content poses unique challenges. We do not take this information at face value and take necessary steps to verify its accuracy. We clearly label user-generated content and adhere to the following guidelines:
Source Verification
Any information that appears trustworthy online is still subject to verification. We cross-check it with credible individuals or organizations when necessary.
Fact vs. Rumor
We distinguish between fact and rumor, especially when dealing with social media content where misinformation can spread rapidly.
Responsibility for Accuracy
All factual information published on Sevakendra.in is thoroughly checked and verified by our dedicated editorial team. While we may utilize AI to assist in drafting, the responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of content remains with our editorial team.
Thank you for trusting Sevakendra.in for your news and updates! We remain committed to providing accurate and trustworthy information.
