At Satna News, the credibility of every story is our highest priority. In an age of misinformation, we follow the process below.
1. Our Verification Process
- Source check: We identify the original source of a story and assess its credibility.
- At least two sources: Sensitive and major stories are, wherever possible, published only after confirmation from two or more independent sources.
- Official confirmation: We seek official statements or documents from government departments, police, administration or the institution concerned.
- Photo/video verification: We verify the origin, date and location of viral images and videos using tools such as reverse image search.
- Data check: Figures and facts are cross-checked against original reports or official data.
- Editorial review: An editor reviews each story before publication.
2. Viral Claims and Rumours
We do not publish viral social-media claims without verification. If a claim is found to be false, we may debunk it and publish the correct facts.
3. Corrections
If an error is found in one of our stories:
- The story is corrected as soon as possible.
- A correction note is added at the end of the article where necessary.
4. How to Report an Error
If you spot a mistake in any of our stories, email contact@satnanews.in with the subject “Correction”, along with the link and the correct information.
5. AI and Automated Tools
If any AI tool is used to assist in preparing content, a human editor must verify and review the facts before publication.
