Fact Checking Policy

NewsThreads247 aims to give readers source-based information with enough context to check important claims themselves. This policy describes the verification steps we expect; it is not a claim that every historic article has already passed a formal multi-editor review.

Sources we prefer

  • Official government, court, regulator, exam-board, company, sporting-body and educational-institution records where relevant.
  • Primary reports, datasets, notices, filings, public documentation and original statements that directly support the detail being reported.
  • Credible independent reporting for additional context, with attribution and checks against primary material when available.

How a claim should be checked

We look at the identity of the source, publication date, relevant jurisdiction, exact number or wording, and whether a later notice changed the position. Two sources repeating the same unsupported assertion are not independent confirmation. A link alone is not verification; the linked material must support the claim being made.

Dates, prices and ongoing events

For gold prices, recruitment openings, examination deadlines, financial rules, sports results or entertainment schedules, articles should distinguish information confirmed at the stated check time from forecasts or details that remain subject to change. Archived articles should not continue calling a closed deadline “open.”

AI assistance, quotations and visuals

Automated tools may assist with drafts, organisation, calculations and illustrations. Outputs need source checks; they are not eyewitness reporting. Quotations should be attributed, and illustrative images must not imply that a depicted person or event was photographed.

Reporting a possible error

Email contact@newsthreads247.com with the article URL, exact disputed passage and a reliable reference if available. We will review the report and handle substantive corrections under our Correction Policy.
