At WorldInPast24Hrs.com, we are committed to publishing accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information. To uphold this commitment, we have implemented a rigorous fact-checking process and a transparent correction policy to ensure the quality and credibility of our content.

Our Fact-Checking Commitment

1. Accuracy as a Priority:

• We approach claims with skepticism, question assumptions, and challenge conventional narratives.
• All content is well-sourced, based on available evidence, and corroborated with verified data.

1. Due Diligence:

• Accuracy is ensured to an extent appropriate for the content’s nature, while highlighting any constraints influencing expectations.
• We avoid unfounded speculation and are transparent about what we don’t know.

1. Editorial Standards:

• All stories undergo a multi-level review process involving journalists and editors.
• The level of scrutiny depends on factors such as complexity, sensitivity, and time constraints.

1. Independent Verification:

• For claims or allegations, especially from public officials or individuals with vested interests, independent verification is sought.
• Content that cannot be independently verified is clearly attributed to its source.

1. No Plagiarism or Distortion:

• We ensure that our journalists do not plagiarize, distort facts, or present misleading information, including visuals.

Handling Errors and Corrections

1. Reader Feedback:

• Readers can report errors via the “Suggest A Correction” section at the end of each article or by contacting us directly.
• Submissions should include details such as the correction, issue date or number, and source of the correct information.

1. Investigation Process:

• Once an error is reported, the editor-in-chief will verify the claim using all available resources, including meeting notes, recordings, and credible sources.
• If an error is confirmed, corrections are made promptly across all platforms.

1. Correction Procedures:

• Website: The article is updated with an editor’s note at the bottom, specifying what was corrected and when.
• Print: For print issues, corrections appear on a designated page in the next publication.
• Social Media: If the content was shared on social media, a new post links to the corrected article, noting the change.
