At The Mining Arena, our commitment to truth and accuracy is foundational to our editorial mission. We recognize the critical importance of factual reporting in a media environment increasingly challenged by misinformation and disinformation. This Fact-Check Policy outlines the principles and procedures we follow to ensure the integrity of our published content.
1. Purpose
Our goal is to provide readers with accurate, verifiable, and reliable information. We fact-check not only our own news and editorial content but also viral claims, widely circulated information, and controversial statements relevant to public discourse.
2. Sources and Verification
- We use only credible, authoritative, and transparent sources such as government publications, official statements, peer-reviewed journals, and reputable news organizations.
- All data and statistics are double-checked for accuracy and cited with original sources.
- When verifying user-generated content or social media claims, we use digital tools, reverse image searches, metadata analysis, and where possible, direct contact with involved parties.
3. Editorial Process
Every article undergoes a layered review process before publication:
- Initial research and writing by the content team
- Fact-verification by an editor or designated fact-checker
- Final approval from a senior editor or managing editor
4. Corrections and Transparency
- If a factual error is identified, we correct it promptly and clearly indicate the correction within the article.
- Major corrections are appended with an editorial note stating what was changed and why.
- We maintain a Contact Us section where readers can report suspected errors or submit correction requests.
5. Independence and Objectivity
Our fact-checking process is editorially independent. Neither advertisers, sponsors, nor external stakeholders influence what we choose to fact-check or how we report it. Our aim is to be fair, impartial, and unbiased in every verification effort.
6. Republishing and Citations
If our fact-check content is used or quoted by other media outlets, we request proper attribution and a link back to the original page. Unauthorized modification or misrepresentation of our fact-check reports is strictly prohibited.
7. Reader Engagement
We invite our readers to participate in the process of accuracy. If you believe we’ve published something inaccurate or misleading, please contact us at [email protected].
This policy was updated. It will be reviewed periodically to ensure compliance with the highest standards of media ethics and transparency.
