a) The usadailynews10 is committed to doing its best to publish accurate information across all of its content. We take many steps to ensure accuracy: We investigate claims with skepticism, question assumptions, and challenge conventional wisdom.
b) We are committed to achieving due accuracy in all our output. This commitment is fundamental to our reputation and the trust of our audiences. The term ‘due’ means that the accuracy must be adequate and appropriate to the output, taking account of the subject and nature of the content and explicitly mentioning or underlining any constraint that may influence that expectation.
c) This means all our output, as appropriate to its content and nature, must be well-sourced, based on available evidence, and corroborated. We strive to be honest and open about what we don’t know and avoid unfounded speculation.
d) Our journalists never plagiarize deliberately or distort facts or context, including visual information, knowingly.
e) We seek independent verification from sources to confirm claims, information, and allegations, especially those made by public officials or anyone with an agenda beyond merely reporting the truth. Claims, allegations, material facts, and other content that cannot be corroborated are normally attributed.
d) The usadailynews10 stands by the information it publishes and deems it be accurate. If proven otherwise, we change the news item or information as quickly as possible. We do not knowingly and materially mislead our audiences. We do not distort facts or present invented material as facts, which can undermine our audiences’ trust in our content. We acknowledge serious factual errors and correct them quickly, clearly, and appropriately.
e) We provide a fair opportunity for the public to report any inaccuracies or errors in our reportage via the ‘Suggest a Correction’ section that appears at the end of every web-story that is published.
f) Our journalists’ primary responsibility is reporting, writing, and fact-checking stories. Stories are subject to review by one or more editors. The usadailynews10 has a multi-level fact-checking structure for stories that require due diligence. The seniority of editors who review a story prior to publication varies depending on a range of factors, including complexity, sensitivity, and the pressure of time.
