Fact-Checking Policy

At Aple Marathi Planet (aplemarathiplanet.in), we are deeply committed to providing our readers with accurate, reliable, and factually verified news. In today’s fast-paced media environment, we believe it is more important than ever to maintain the highest standards of journalistic integrity and transparency. Our fact-checking policy ensures that all information published on our platform is thoroughly vetted and verified to uphold our commitment to truth and trustworthiness.

Our Fact-Checking Approach

1. Source Verification

We rely on a robust network of credible sources to ensure the accuracy of the information we publish. Our editorial team thoroughly examines:
– Primary sources, such as official documents, press releases, government reports, and interviews.
– Expert opinions from qualified professionals relevant to the topic being reported.
– Trusted secondary sources, including established news outlets and academic publications, to cross-reference and validate the information.

2. Research Process

Before publishing any article, our writers undergo a detailed research process. This includes:
– Double-checking all facts, data, and quotes presented in the article.
– Confirming claims through at least two independent and reputable sources.
– Highlighting any potential biases in sources and considering multiple perspectives to present balanced reporting.

3. Fact-Checking Tools

We use several fact-checking tools and databases to validate claims, including:
– Credible fact-checking websites and organizations.
– Online databases and official government portals.
– Historical data archives and research studies.

We continually update our resources to stay aligned with the latest fact-checking practices.

At Aple Marathi Planet, we value transparency. If an error is discovered in any of our published content, we follow a clear and accountable corrections process:
– Error Identification: If a factual mistake is found either by our internal team or reported by readers.we immediately launch a review of the content.

– Reader Notification: If the error was significant, we will notify our readers via an update note on the article and, where applicable, through our social media channels or newsletters.
