FACT-CHECKING POLICY

Commitment to Accuracy

The Kolkata Herald recognizes the growing challenge of misinformation in digital media. We are committed to identifying, verifying and correcting inaccurate claims that circulate in public discourse.

Verification Process

Before publishing a report, our editorial team verifies facts through multiple credible sources. These may include official press releases, government databases, academic research, public records and verified eyewitness accounts. Claims made by political leaders or public figures are cross-checked against documented evidence.

Monitoring Misinformation

We actively monitor viral content, especially on social media platforms, to identify misleading or false claims that may impact public understanding. When necessary, we publish fact-check reports clearly explaining what is true, false or misleading.

Transparency in Updates

If new evidence emerges after publication, we update the story and clearly indicate the revision. Transparency strengthens reader trust and ensures accountability.

Reader Participation

Readers are encouraged to report questionable claims or suspected inaccuracies by contacting contactkolkataherald@gmail.com. We review all genuine concerns seriously.
